DutchGeo

Get latitude / longitude by Dutch postal / zip code. An easy job if you speak Dutch but for a not native speaker a bit of a search., _(*1)

Getting Started

Just install with composer, call Postal::getLatLong('1421AW'); and you are all done. The script uses curl so you need php with lib curl or copy/paste the sourcecode and use file_get_contents., _(*2)
