Geocode Address

Geocode an address, partial address or the name of a location.

Address geocoding is the processes of taking a string and attempting to match this with possible real world locations. Once an address (or a list of possible matching addresses) is located you can then retrieve the geographic coordinates as latitude and longitude. You can also use this API to verify postal addresses, find postal codes or get a neatly formatted address suitable for shipping/mail. Location results are ordered by most relevant to the original search address, we use a method based on the Levenshtein distance to determine the order if more than one location is found.

Our mapping data covers the entire globe and is continuously updated as new geographic data is created.

If your address data is already split into its individual components (street, city, suburb etc.) we recommend you pass this as a comma separated string to the address parameter.
