Geocoding API Methods

API methods for finding a geolocation (x,y) for addresses.

Important Note: matchAddress returns the name of the address grid system for the address. For example, "matchAddress": "10420 E Little Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake City" means that the address is part of the Salt Lake City address grid system. It is neither within the boundaries of Salt Lake City proper, nor is that the preferred mailing address placename.

We have compiled a group of samples in various programming languages showing how to use this API. Please look, learn, and contribute new languages if you are able. Also check out the great writeup of our web api.
