Convert Latitude/Longitude Coordinates to Addresses via API

How to convert coordinates to addresses via API. Store them in a database, use them in an application, or resell them as part of your services.

Quick Answer

Geocodio's reverse geocoding API converts US and Canadian lat/lon coordinates into approximate addresses. Send single requests or batches of up to 10,000 lookups — no usage restrictions, no credit card required to get started.

Geocodio’s API can be used to find approximate addresses for US and Canadian latitude/longitude coordinates (GPS coordinates, lat/lon).

This can be useful in a wide variety of situations, such as fleet/asset tracking, logistics, and advertising.

Unlike many geocoders, Geocodio does not have any usage restrictions, so you are free to store the addresses in your database, use them in an application or on your website, or even resell them as part of your own services.

Latitude/Longitude Coordinates to Addresses via API

The Geocodio API can turn US and Canadian latitude/longitude coordinates into approximate addresses.

Create an API Key to turn Lat/Lon into Addresses

The first step is to create an account and then create an API key. Creating an account and an API key are both free, with no credit card or other payment information required at set-up. You can run up to 2,500 lookups for free per day.
