There are two types of geocoding: forward and reverse. Forward geocoding converts addresses, such as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20500, into geographic coordinates (i.e., latitude and longitude). Reverse geocoding converts a coordinate, such as (-77.03655, 38.89768), into the aforementioned address.
The following are examples of Forward Geocoding (converting an address into geographic coordinates) and Reverse Geocoding (converting geographic coordinates into an address):
Forward Geocoding: A delivery app needs to be able to place a customer's address on a map so the driver can deliver food there. So when a customer enters their address, they then send that address to our Geocoder API, which returns the coordinates of that address, along with other metadata.
?Reverse Geocoding: A weather app customer needs to display a weather report to their end user based on their location. So when they retrieve the coordinates of the location from the device, the customer then sends them to our Geocoder API, which returns the address data. Then, they can use that address data to label the weather report with the correct city and neighborhood.
Temporary geocoding allows a forward or reverse geocoding search to be retrieved and displayed immediately. This is useful for short-lived mapping applications, like showing a user where their destination is on a map.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ also offers the unique ability for customers to permanently store address and coordinate data served via the Geocoding API. This means that customers use Permanent Geocoding to save costs and improve performance for scenarios in which the same data needs to be geocoded repeatedly.
For example, an in-browser BI company may need to repeatedly load a map of their end users¡¯s warehouse locations. Without permanent geocoding, they may have to make 100¡¯s of calls for the same addresses every time the user loads the page. However, with permanent geocoding, they can cache these addresses, improving performance of their app and saving on requests.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ allows both Temporary and Permanent geocoding results to be displayed on a map from any vendor ¨C unlike Google there is no ¡°lock in¡± that limits display of geocoding data to our maps.
Customers use forward geocoding to analyze and visualize address data. For example, a rideshare company would use forward geocoding to enable the user to search for his or her destination (as a human-readable address), then visualize that address on a map (using geographic coordinates).
Customers use reverse geocoding to determine the physical address of vehicles, packages, and people. For example, the same rideshare company noted above would use reverse geocoding to display the user¡¯s current location on the map.
Additional use cases for forward and reverse geocoding include:
There are different options when using the Geocoding API.? You can choose (1) if you want to use results immediately or store for future use, and (2) if you want to work from a coordinate or from an address.
Alongside these options, the Geocoding API offers the following features:
You can check our to understand where Geocoding is supported. We have particularly strong coverage across North America, Western Europe, Australia and Japan. However, please check back often, as we are continually expanding address coverage.
Geocoding API supports 40+ languages: In v6, we expanded our coverage to include: Estonian, Ukrainian, Italian, Russian, Malay, Vietnamese, and Hindi.
¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ¡¯s Geocoding API has a number of advantages over other solutions:
Geocoding is billed per-request across 2 different SKUs, temporary geocoding & permanent geocoding.
See /pricing#search for more information.
New in v6 are features that benefit customers needing to efficiently run large volumes of geocoding:
In addition we have upgraded our coverage, API understandability, and usability:
Structured Input is an optional parameter that enables you to pre-parse address data. Instead of querying a string like 1600%20Pennsylvania%20Avenue%20Washington,%20D.C.%2020500, you can query num=1600&street=Pennsylvania%20Avenue&city=Washington,%20D.C.&postcode=20500. Doing so increases query understanding and the likelihood of providing the correct result as fast as possible, with structured queries being processed up to 20% faster.
Please read the for more information about Structured Input.
Smart Address Match consists of a Confidence Score and Match Codes.
The Confidence Score assesses how well a query and its individual components match a known result. To determine the Confidence Score, each component of the address is assessed and given a true or false match code. The match code results are then analyzed, providing an overall Confidence Score ranging across Exact, High, Medium, or Low Confidence.
The Confidence Score and Match Codes help fine-tune geocoding results to a particular use case. If you are working in delivery, for example, you can use match codes to ensure that you only use the most accurate results; if, on the other hand, you are analyzing and visualizing a dataset with millions of address records, it may be sufficient to aggregate data at the postcode level.
