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 old api-adresse.data.gouv.fr host now 301-redirects there). 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.
