ABANDONED

Sorry, if you've come here looking for updates, I regret to inform that this package has now been abandoned. Please ping me @codeisawesome on twitter if you need something urgent to updated here. Forking and updating it, however, is a better idea.

PostcodesIo Laravel Package

Build Status

A laravel package for querying the postcodes.io web service.

Most of the Guzzle layer code was taken from @BoxUk's Symfony bundle, many props!
