What is a Geocoding API?
A geocoding API converts human-readable addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). This process, known as forward geocoding, is essential for mapping applications, delivery services, location-based searches, and any application that needs to work with geographic data.
How Our Free Geocoding API Works
Simply send a GET request with your address query, and receive precise coordinates in return:
// Request GET https://api.latlng.work/api?q=Seattle,WA Headers: X-Api-Key: your_api_key // Response { "features": [{ "geometry": { "coordinates": [-122.3321, 47.6062] }, "properties": { "name": "Seattle", "state": "Washington", "country": "United States" } }] }
