Geocoding is the process of converting human-readable location information—like addresses, place names, or postal codes—into geographic coordinates (consisting of latitude and longitude).
The API supports forward geocoding (searching for locations by name or address) and reverse geocoding (converting coordinates back into readable locations).
Additional features include result prioritization based on map view, language customization, region restriction, autocomplete suggestions, and batch geocoding.
Geocoding is commonly used in map-based applications, allowing users to search for locations (forward geocoding) or discover what is in a pointed area (reverse geocoding).
For example, an e-commerce site might use geocoding to show nearby pickup points, or a travel app might let users search for destinations and plan trips.
MapTiler Geocoding API supports more than 180 languages. This ensures that users receive search results in their local language or script whenever possible. The language can be set programmatically to tailor the experience based on the user’s preferences.
You can easily integrate the geocoding API using the MapTiler SDK, which works with JavaScript frameworks like React, Svelte, and vanilla JS. It’s also compatible with popular map libraries such as OpenLayers and Leaflet. For more advanced use cases, a direct API interface is available with detailed documentation and examples.
Yes, the API allows you to restrict results by country or even focus them around a specific geographic area. This improves accuracy and relevance for local or regional applications, such as national services or city-focused apps.
Yes, for most use cases, you are allowed to store the results of MapTiler geocoding permanently, including coordinates and associated metadata. This is particularly useful for batch geocoding. Refer to the terms of service for specific details and limitations.
Yes, batch geocoding is available to process large volumes of address data at once. This API is ideal for customer databases, logistics applications, or any scenario where thousands of addresses need to be converted into coordinates efficiently.
The geocoding API is part of MapTiler Cloud. You need to have a free or paid plan; each HTTPS API call is counted as an individual request.
API keys, usage statistics, and billing are managed through a unified dashboard in MapTiler Cloud, providing transparency and control over your costs.
MapTiler focuses on open data and transparency, blending high-quality global and local sources. The API is designed for fast performance, privacy-friendly usage, and flexibility with integration. It offers permanent result storage, broad language support, and a developer-friendly setup—all without vendor lock-in or opaque licensing.
