An efficient solution for replacing missing zip codes is as follows:
- Upload a data file containing address columns
- Add new column and enable 'Web Search' switch
- Enter prompt 'Find zip code for {{address column}}'
- Recommended SERPER_API_KEY configuration to ensure search accuracy
- The system will query the latest postal database in real time to obtain the results
- After manual validation of some results, use the drag-and-drop function to batch-complete them
- Final export of the dataset with complete zip code information to Hugging Face Hub
This method is up to 50 times more efficient than traditional manual searches and ensures that data is current. Note that the free version has a limit on the number of searches per day, which can be lifted with a PRO subscription for enterprise users.
