Hi There
I would like to return a list of UK addresses based on a PostCode using the PlaceFinder YDN webservice.
I can successfully return a subset of data but limited address details, i.e. I do not get street details being returned.
The call I am using is:

Please advise me what I am missing
thanks

PlaceFinder does not provide street details for postal codes such as UK postcodes. Postal codes are simply named places, like cities and counties. The coordinates returned for postal codes are representative of the area served by the postal code, and may not correspond to a specific street address. That said, you can determine a representative street address for a UK postcode by added "&gflags=R" to your request. Please note that there may be several streets associated with a UK postcode.
