API description

About the API:  

The Geocoding API offers a seamless solution for converting any city from any country into precise latitude and longitude coordinates. Whether you're mapping locations, analyzing spatial data, or building location-based applications, our API provides accurate geocoding capabilities to enhance your projects. By simply providing the city name and country, users can retrieve the corresponding geographic coordinates, enabling precise location-based services and functionality.

In addition to forward geocoding, where cities are converted to coordinates, our API also supports reverse geocoding. This functionality allows users to obtain location information such as city, country, and address from given latitude and longitude coordinates. By leveraging both forward and reverse geocoding functionalities, developers can create dynamic and interactive mapping applications, geolocation services, and location-aware systems.

With extensive coverage spanning cities worldwide, our Geocoding API ensures comprehensive support for diverse geographical regions. Whether you're navigating urban landscapes, exploring remote destinations, or analyzing global trends, our API equips you with the location intelligence needed to power your applications and unlock new possibilities in spatial data analysis and visualization.

The Geocoding API is a service that converts textual location information, such as city names, addresses, or landmarks, into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).

The API utilizes geospatial data and algorithms to accurately determine the geographic coordinates corresponding to the provided location information.

The API can process various types of location information, including city names, street addresses, postal codes, landmarks, and points of interest.

The accuracy of geocoding results depends on the quality of the underlying geospatial data and algorithms. Generally, the API strives to provide accurate and reliable geographic coordinates for given location information.

Reverse geocoding functionality, which converts geographic coordinates into textual location information, may be available as part of the Geocoding API or as a separate service.

Zyla API Hub is, in other words, an API MarketPlace. An all-in-one solution for your developing needs. You will be accessing our extended list of APIs with only your user. Also, you won't need to worry about storing API keys, only one API key for all our products is needed.

Prices are listed in USD. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble with paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected — plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a plan’s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
