The service for checking, obtaining and updating ISTAT city codes and their associated municipalities in real time.
The ISTAT code is a numerical identifier assigned by the Italian National Institute of Statistics to each existing or new municipality and is used for statistical purposes.
This is an alphanumeric code consisting of six digits: the first three digits of the code identify the province to which the municipality belongs, while the next three identify the municipality within its province.
The Municipalities Search service belongs to the API ZIP CODE (CAP) and allows you to check, obtain and update ISTAT city codes and their associated municipalities. Search Municipalities is identified by the endpoint GET https://cap.openapi.it/cerca_comuni
The service provides 44,640 free requests per month and allows the ISTAT code to be obtained from a number of parameters such as:
- City
- ZIP Code
- Land registry code
- Region
- Province
- Tax code
One or more parameters may be combined in the same request.
The name (city) field provides a textual search and will present all cities containing that name in the results. For example, if the search parameter for city name is ‘Roma’, the response will return other cities that include ‘roma’ such as Campagnano di Roma or Trevignano Romano. It is possible to refine the search using other parameters such as province, region and postal code.
EXAMPLE REQUEST
GET /cerca_comuni
This is an example of a request where we chose the municipality of Florence as a parameter:
https://cap.openapi.it/cerca_comuni?comune=FirenzeThe response may include one or more cities, depending on the parameters used, with the following information:
- ISTAT Code
- Name Municipality
- If that administrative unit has been suppressed (true)
EXAMPLE RESPONSE
GET /cerca_comuni
This is an example of response:
{
"data": {
"istat": "48017",
"comune": "Firenze",
"suppressed":false
}
],
"suppressed": []
},
"success": true,
"message": "",
"error": null
}In the event of suppression, the six-character alphanumeric code that identified it at the time of suppression remains assigned to the suppressed municipality and is no longer re-assigned. In the event of a change of name, the code remains unchanged and is assigned to the new name.
The ISTAT code obtained can then be used to obtain further information on municipalities via other endpoints, such as Basic or Advance Municipalities.
