PostalPinCode vs WeCanTrack
PostalPinCode.in mirrors India Post's PIN code directory as a simple keyless REST API, returning post-office name, branch type, delivery status, and district/state/circle hierarchy for any 6-digit PIN or by post-office branch name. Responses are plain JSON with no signup, rate-limit tier, or API key required. It's run as a free public-data convenience layer rather than a commercial product.
WeCanTrack is an affiliate-marketing attribution service whose Public Clickout API rewrites an outbound affiliate link with a tracking sub-ID before redirecting the shopper, letting merchants tie clicks back to conversions across 450+ affiliate networks. Every call carries a per-account API key (via header or query string), and the public clickout endpoint is IP-throttled to 30 requests/minute to keep redirect latency low. There's no ongoing free tier — plans start at $69/month after a 15-day trial.
