How it works

Paste lat, lng or click anywhere on the map. The API finds the nearest address point within 300 metres, else the nearest street segment, else the containing place, and tells you which with accuracy_type and distance_m.

In your code

curl "https://api.geocode.net/v1/reverse?lat=38.8977&lng=-77.0365" -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"

{ "results": [ { "formatted": "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500",
                 "location": { "lat": 38.897675, "lng": -77.036545 },
                 "accuracy_type": "rooftop", "fields": { "distance_m": 4.8 } } ] }

Thousands of points? POST /v1/reverse/batch takes up to 10,000 per call and returns them in order.

Notes

GPS pings, vehicle telemetry and photo EXIF coordinates all work; add fields=timezone to get the local time zone of each point.
One unit per point, every plan.
