Geocode Earth

Geocode Earth is a hosted geocoding and address autocomplete API built by the team that maintains Pelias, the open-source geocoder. It provides forward (search), autocomplete, reverse, and structured geocoding plus place lookup over fully open data (OpenStreetMap, OpenAddresses, Who's on First, and Geonames), with results that can be stored without restrictive licensing.

Geocode Earth publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Forward API, Place API, and Reverse API. Tagged areas include Geocoding, Address Autocomplete, Reverse Geocoding, Mapping, and Pelias.

Geocode Earth’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
