Geoapify Geocoding API

From an address to a map location

Forward geocoding is useful when an application needs coordinates for an address already stored in a form or customer record. Geoapify accepts a free-form address string or structured fields such as house number, street, postcode, city, and country. A response can include latitude and longitude, normalized address data, timezone, and confidence information. That makes confidence a useful value to inspect when deciding whether an address should be accepted automatically or reviewed by a person.

The documented first steps are to create a Geoapify account, obtain an API key, and use the geocoding guide or playground to shape a request. A developer can restrict a query to a country or set the requested language, then integrate the same parameters in a server or client application. The published plans meter usage in credits; the pricing page states that a simple Geocoding API request generally costs one credit and lists a free daily allowance with a rate limit. Commercial use of the free plan is allowed within its usage limits, but Geoapify requires attribution for data shown to users.

Geoapify's broader suite includes reverse geocoding, autocomplete, routing, places, and maps, which solve related but different location tasks. Result quality for a particular address or locality was not independently assessed, so use the returned confidence value and verify any critical address decision in the consuming workflow.
