Geocoding — entry 027 of 80
Geokeo
Geokeo is a small forward/reverse geocoding service returning place classes, address components, and postcodes, selectable as JSON (default) or XML via a format parameter. Every request requires a signup-issued api key — an unauthenticated live probe returns a plain {"status":"ACCESS_DENIED"} JSON body with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, so browser calls need a server-side proxy. The free tier gives 2,500 requests/day, with paid tiers scaling up to 1,000,000/day.
