Geocoding — entry 050 of 80
LatLng
LatLng bundles forward/reverse geocoding, OpenStreetMap-powered places search, and static map/vector tiles behind two key types: a secret server-side "latlng_" key for the data APIs, and a domain-restrictable "pk_latlng_" key for embeddable map tiles. Every request needs one of these keys via an X-Api-Key header (the stored "None" auth was stale); geocoding responses come back as GeoJSON FeatureCollections. A live Origin-header probe confirms open CORS on the API host, and the free tier covers 3,000 geocoding requests/day before the paid Pro plan kicks in.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
