# agent402.tools Geocode

> agent402.tools Geocode is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.tools, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Resolves a free-form address or place name to geographic coordinates (lat/lon), bounding box, display name, and place type using OpenStreetMap/Nominatim — no API key required.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://agent402.tools/api/geocode
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent402-tools-geocode-7f57ebf5
```

Example prompt: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC? Just return the top result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert a free-form address or place name to geographic coordinates without managing your own API key or quota. It is especially suitable for one-off geocoding needs in agentic workflows, when you want OpenStreetMap-backed results at low cost per call, and when you need bounding box or place type metadata alongside the coordinates.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found — returns empty array if Nominatim cannot match the query
- Ambiguous place name returns unexpected location — mitigated by setting countryCodes filter
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.003 USDC not processed, request rejected
- Rate limiting or Nominatim upstream unavailability causes timeout or 5xx error
- Invalid query parameter (missing q) returns validation error

## How this service works

Resolve a free-form address or place name to coordinates: lat/lon, display name, bounding box, place type. OpenStreetMap/Nominatim, no key. ?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave+Washington+DC&limit=1.

## Output

Returns structured geocoding data including latitude, longitude, a human-readable display name, a bounding box (min/max lat/lon), and place type classification (e.g. building, city, road) based on OpenStreetMap data.
