Summary
What is a Geocoding API?
A Geocoding API is a service that translates postal addresses (like "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA") into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which can be used to place markers on a map, or position the map. Conversely, reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude data) into a human-readable address.
Key features of a Geocoding API typically include:
Address to Coordinates Conversion: Takes a textual address and returns its precise geographic location in terms of latitude and longitude.
Coordinates to Address Conversion (Reverse Geocoding): Takes latitude and longitude coordinates and returns the corresponding address, which might include the street name, city, state, and country.
Batch Geocoding: Allows multiple addresses to be submitted in one request, returning geographic coordinates for each.
Partial Address Lookup: Offers suggestions for completing addresses as users type them, improving accuracy and user experience.
Location Autocomplete: Provides auto-completion suggestions for addresses or places as a user types, based on previously entered data.
