Geocoding — entry 006 of 80
adresse.data.gouv.fr
The Base Adresse Nationale's API Adresse geocodes and reverse-geocodes French addresses for free with no API key, backed by Etalab and IGN's data.geopf.fr infrastructure (the old api-adresse.data.gouv.fr host now 301-redirects there). Requests and responses use the GeoJSON FeatureCollection format, with each result scored for match confidence and enriched with INSEE city codes, postcodes, and population. A live Origin-header probe confirms open CORS (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), so it works directly from browser JavaScript with no proxy.
