Geocoding — entry 034 of 80
HERE Maps
HERE's Geocoding & Search API turns addresses, place names, and points of interest into coordinates and back, drawing on HERE Technologies' own global map dataset rather than reselling another provider's data. The same JSON REST interface also exposes autosuggest/autocomplete, reverse geocoding, and administrative-boundary lookups, authenticated with a project API key. A free Base Plan covers initial development, with paid volume tiers negotiated directly through HERE's sales team.
