PINCODE Search API

[ChakshuGautam]

• Add data for PINCODE mapping. Data.gov.in
• Allow for search through PINCODE. NextBillion API spec is a good one.

Hey @ChakshuGautam @Mr-Sunglasses my idea in resolving this issue would be to get the data fromt the Data.gov.in and passing it through the NextBillion API Spec if someone searches for a specific location. Or we can just add the whole dataset and map each pincode to country with longitude and latitude as the NextBillion API Spec accepts them as parameters and store mapped data in some DB or file structure

The pincode-directory returns this in response
{ "officename": "Marine Jetty S.O", "pincode": "744101", "officetype": "S.O", "deliverystatus": "Non-Delivery", "divisionname": "A - N Islands", "regionname": "Calcutta HQ", "circlename": "West Bengal", "taluk": "Portblair", "districtname": "South Andaman", "statename": "ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS" },

Or the pincode to be mapped to regionname?

I am new to it so do correct if I am wrong and I would like to work on this issue
