FAQs
What is the Geocoding API, and what does it do?
The Geocoding API is a location intelligence service that transforms textual descriptions — such as street addresses, intersections, or city names — into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). It's ideal for powering maps, deliveries, and location-based applications.
How does the API handle incomplete or incorrect addresses?
The Geocoding API is built to handle imperfect data. It can interpret and resolve incomplete, misspelled, or loosely formatted addresses — making it highly effective for automated systems and real-world user inputs.
What information is returned from a geocoding request?
Each response provides:
- Accurate latitude and longitude
- A complete formatted address
- Individual address components like street, city, region, and country
Can I restrict the search to certain countries or regions?
Yes. You can apply optional parameters to:
- Limit search results to specific countries
- Prioritise results around a given reference location
These filters enhance relevance and precision.
What formats are supported for geocoding responses?
The API supports both JSON and XML formats, giving you flexibility based on your application architecture and integration preferences.
Does the Geocoding API include POIs (Points of Interest)?
No. The Geocoding API focuses solely on address-based queries. For POI discovery and enrichment, use the Search API or Places API.
When should I use the structured geocoding endpoint?
Use the structured endpoint when your address data is already segmented — for example:
- Street number
- Street name
- City
- Postal code
This ensures faster and more accurate resolution for large datasets or form-based applications.
