Reverse geocoding takes geographic coordinates, such as latitude and longitude, and converts them into human-readable addresses. This process is essential for applications and services that need to translate location data from GPS or other positioning systems into meaningful locations that users can understand. One of the key technologies that enables this functionality is the Reverse Geocode API.
One of the main uses of the Reverse Geocode API is in navigation and mapping applications. When users enter coordinates it makes it easier for users to understand their current location or destination. This functionality is essential for services such as ridesharing applications, navigation systems and location-based games.
In conclusion, the Reverse Geocode API is a vital tool for converting geographic coordinates into human-readable addresses, enabling a wide range of location-based applications and services. From navigation and search to emergency response and logistics, the API provides users with the functionality they need to integrate accurate and reliable reverse geocoding capabilities into their applications.
It will receive a parameter and provide you with a JSON.
Navigation Apps: Reverse geocoding is essential for navigation apps to translate GPS coordinates into street addresses, enabling users to navigate to specific locations with ease.
Location-Based Services: Various location-based services, such as weather updates, local news, and event recommendations, rely on reverse geocoding to provide relevant information based on the user's current location.
Ride-Sharing and Delivery Services: Ride-sharing and delivery apps use reverse geocoding to determine pickup and drop-off locations accurately, ensuring smooth transactions and efficient route planning.
Emergency Response Systems: Emergency services use reverse geocoding to pinpoint the exact location of incidents reported by callers, allowing responders to dispatch assistance quickly and accurately.
Geotagging Photos and Social Media Posts: Social media platforms and photo-sharing apps use reverse geocoding to automatically tag posts and photos with location information based on the user's coordinates.
Besides the number of API calls per month, there are no other limitations.
To use this endpoint you must indicate a latitude and longitude.

To use this API, users must indicate the coordinates of a location.
The Reverse Geocode API converts geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into human-readable addresses.
There are different plans to suit all tastes, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but your rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.
Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
The API allows you to convert location coordinates into understandable addresses so that users can accurately find their destination.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). 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 paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
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.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.
The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
