Yahoo placefinder api stopped working

Question

Yahoo placefinder api has stopped working. I know that this is a deprecated version, and have been discontinued by Yahoo.

Below is my url.

http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?postal=122001&country=India&appid=XXXXXXXX&flags=j

I would just like to know free substitute to this api.

In my application when user enters pincode, this URL pre-populates his city, state and country.

Answer 1

Using YQL still seems to work OK: http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20geo.placefinder%20where%20postal%3D%22122001%22%20and%20country%3D%22india%22&diagnostics=true

And this as well, http://gws2.maps.yahoo.com/findlocation?pf=1&postal=122001&country=india
