adresse.data.gouv.fr vs Queimadas INPE
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 older api-adresse.data.gouv.fr host still answers directly and does not redirect). 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.
Queimadas is Brazil's national fire-hotspot monitoring program run by INPE (National Institute for Space Research), publishing daily, monthly, and annual satellite-detected fire-focus data plus fire-risk meteorology layers as open downloads rather than a query API. Files are served as CSV, KML, and shapefile/GeoTIFF layers from INPE's data server with open CORS headers, free and keyless.
