# Zipcodes API Overview

RedCircle API allows you to set up zip/postal codes on your account and run your API requests in the context of those zipcodes.

Once set up on your account, you should set your requests  `customer_zipcode`  request parameter to specify the pre-configured zipcode to use (note that the platform requires a couple of minutes after the zipcode has been added to your account for it to be available to service requests).

You can [add](https://docs.trajectdata.com/redcircleapi/zipcodes-api/add), [list](https://docs.trajectdata.com/redcircleapi/zipcodes-api/list) and [delete](https://docs.trajectdata.com/redcircleapi/zipcodes-api/delete) zipcodes via the Zipcodes API as well as the Dashboard.

Zip or postal codes can be added to your account on the [zipcodes](https://app.redcircleapi.com/zipcodes) page of the Dashboard, or via the Zipcodes API.
