  • Max no. of addresses per request: 1000
  • Max no. of requests per minute: 100

Available operations (single and batch):

  • Unstructured geocoding query: Geocode an arbitrary address text into one or more matching address entries and coordinates
  • Structured geocoding query: Geocode structured address elements into one or more matching address entries and coordinates
  • Robust structured geocoding query: Geocode structured address elements into one most closely matching address entry and coordinates -Reverse geocoding query: Reverse geocode coordinates into nearest address entry
  • Partial geocoding query: Geocode a start of an arbitrary address text into a prediction of one or more matching address entries

Typical application for the services is some form of travelling or transportation planning. Distance / travelling time matrix typically requires location input in coordinates. If an application has a drag-and-drop map functionality then reverse geocoding comes handy in translating the location to an address.
