How to look for geocodes in Germany only? (PLZ or Postleitzahl)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Not sure whether I am in the right forum, so I apologize if this is not the
place to post!

I would like to switch from US "zip" codes to PLZ (Postleitzahlen) in
Germany. If I enter a German "zip" or "PLZ" code into the code below (for
$zip), the system is looking everywhere in the world ... including Germany.
What would be the proper code to only search within Germany?

Here is what works for the US:

    protected function getlatlonforzip($zip) 
    { 
            $url =

"http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20geo.placefinder%20where%20text%3D"".$zip.""&format=json";
$o = json_decode(file_get_contents($url));
$x = $o->query->results->Result;
return array($x->latitude, $x->longitude);
}

Thank you very much!

This is completely off-topic, but I allow myself to answer.

Use Google Geocoding API, example:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=50674&region=de
