US zipcode to lat/long

Hi,

I wanted to get the lat/long of user entered zip code. Basically i wanted to show some results based on the user entered zip code. Is there any way to get lat/long with zip code?

is this question in any way about leaflet? You have added it as tag. What is its relation with leaflet?

You can try asking nominatim, like so:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=14556

But there is no assurance that the answer will be a zip code, and zip codes don't really have a center as such.

You will probably get more useful results from something using a non OSM source like https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/zctas.html .
