Frequently Asked Questions
General
What is FreeGeocodingAPI.com?
The API was built to offer an affordable and straightforward REST API interface for global forward and reverse geocoding in real-time, supporting nearly all countries worldwide with more than two billion global addresses covered. The API is making use of a number of trusted data sources to provide a high level of accuracy for every geocoding API request made. If you are interested in trying out the API, simply create a free account and be up and running within minutes.
Who runs the API?
The FreeGeocodingAPI.com API is part of the apilayer ecosystem and sits next to 20+ other microservice APIs currently on the market, including currencylayer for exchang rate data, serpstack for SERP data scraping and ipapi for IP geolocation data.

How scalable is the Free Geocoding API?
Thanks to apilayer’s scalable cloud infrastructure FreeGeocodingAPI.com is hosted on, the API is capable of handling anything from hundreds of API lookups per month all the way to millions of geocoding requests per hour. Depending on which subscription plan you choose, you will be able to access the API with a strict, extended or even completely flexible rate limit.
How accurate is FreeGeocodingAPI.com geocoding data?
Geocoding data returned by the FreeGeocodingAPI.com API is sourced from multiple, highly reliable sources, such as Nominatim, GeoNames, Pelias and OpenStreetMap. Updates to our dataset are made multiple times per day and smart filters and algorithms ensure the highest possible level of consistency across API requests and accuracy in geo data responses.
What is the difference between forward and reverse geocoding?
Forward geocoding is the process of looking up a plain-text address or place name (e.g. Eiffel Tower), whereas reverse geocoding is performed by passing latitude and longitude values of a desired location to the API. If successful, both types of geocoding return an extensive array of location-related data as well as multiple potential results along with confidence scores
