Geographical API services – NFleet Address API
oleh NFleet Oy
Geocoding and reverse geocoding
In geocoding you input the street address and in return you will get the coordinates for that location. In reverse geocoding you input the coordinates and in return will get the nearest street address.
- Geographical coverage: OpenStreetMap data in Northern and Western Europe. Contact us for more countries
- Response language options: English - Finnish - Swedish - German
- Data format: JSON
- Max no. of addresses per request: 1000
- Max no. of requests per minute: 100
- Response time: max few seconds
Available operations (single and batch):
- Unstructured geocoding query: Geocode an arbitrary address text into one or more matching address entries and coordinates
- Structured geocoding query: Geocode structured address elements into one or more matching address entries and coordinates
- Robust structured geocoding query: Geocode structured address elements into one most closely matching address entry and coordinates
- Reverse geocoding query: Reverse geocode coordinates into nearest address entry
- Partial geocoding query: Geocode a start of an arbitrary address text into a prediction of one or more matching address entries
Geocoding functionality and data model can be tested free of charge with NFleet API Explorer at our website.
Typical application for the services is some form of travelling or transportation planning. Distance / travelling time matrix typically requires location input in coordinates. If an application has a drag-and-drop map functionality then reverse geocoding comes handy in translating the location to an address.
NFleet geographical services were originally designed for our own internal transportation planning optimization needs. However, we have noticed that currently available services have relatively limited capacity and high prices, and therefore want to make our geographical services publicly available.
