Geocoding — entry 077 of 80
Yandex.Maps Geocoder
The Yandex Geocoder API converts addresses to coordinates and back for over 29 million addresses across Russia, the CIS, Turkey, and Israel, returning JSON or XML through a keyed HTTP endpoint. Signup and billing run through Yandex's international developer portal in USD, but there is no self-serve free tier for the geocoder itself — annual plans start at $10,000/year for 2.5 million requests, with the free option instead being Yandex's separate client-side JS Maps API.
