Geocoding APIs allow you to convert raw data into useful information. The API uses optional parameters that determine the location's accuracy. You can use these parameters to further customize the query. For instance, you can include a city or country name in the request. The result will show the location of that location on a map. In addition, you can specify the language in which the results should be displayed. To learn more about how to create a map using a Geocoding API, read on!
For a full-featured geocoding API, consider building your application around the Places API. This API is more advanced than the Geocoding API, but is still simple to use. It powers thousands of web and mobile applications globally. The pricing model makes it affordable for anyone to use. It supports millions of requests per day, regardless of the size of your application, and it's available in many programming languages. You can choose whichever option best suits your needs.
In addition to using the API, you should be aware of the Geocoding API's limitations. While the API allows you to use the Geocoding API for georeferencing, you should note that the boundaries are not always accurate. You should make sure to provide the correct bounding boxes, and also set the confidence level. If your request does not match the boundary of the country, it will return ZERO_RESULTS.
