Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding
Convert addresses to precise coordinates and coordinates back to addresses. Our geocoding engine handles variations in address formats, fuzzy matching, and returns confidence scores for every result.
What it does
- Converts any Canadian address to latitude/longitude coordinates
- Reverse geocodes coordinates to the nearest known address
- Returns confidence scores and match quality indicators
- Handles partial addresses and ambiguous queries
Use it for
- Mapping and location visualization
- Route optimization and distance calculations
- Location-based search and filtering
Example Endpoint
GET /api/v1/geocode?address=123+Main+St+Ottawa+ONExample Response
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"address": "123 Main St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0B1",
"coordinates": {
"lat": 45.4215296,
"lng": -75.6971931
},
