Geocoding

The geocoding API is used to convert a known address (like "Unter den Linden 78 10117 Berlin") into geo-coordinates.

Endpoints

The API is callable via GET and POST and returns the geo-coordinates and the corresponding correct postal address.

GET/v1/geocode/search

curl -X GET https://api.apistax.io/v1/geocode/search?query=Wiedner%20Hauptstraße%2032,%201040%20Wien \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY_HERE'

POST/v1/geocode/search

curl -X POST https://api.apistax.io/v1/geocode/search \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY_HERE' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{ "query": "Wiedner Hauptstraße 32, 1040 Wien" }'

Response

Both endpoints return the result in JSON format and with HTTP status 200. If the address is not recognized, an empty response with HTTP status 204 is returned.
