Geocode Address
Geocode an address, partial address or just the name of a place.
Address
geocoding is the process of taking a string and attempting to match this with possible real world locations.
This is the opposite process of
reverse geocoding.
Once a location is found you can then retrieve the geographic coordinates as latitude and longitude.
If more than one location is found for a given string then results are ordered by most relevant to the original search address and with the highest geographic accuracy.
Use this API to:
- Display geocoded locations on a map component
- Validate postal addresses
- Search for postal codes
- Extract address components like city, state and country details
- Implement auto-complete for address inputs
- Fuzzy search for the nearest locations from partial or misspelled addresses
Note:
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.
