## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert a US street address into geographic coordinates and want a standardized address back alongside the coordinates. It is well-suited for single-address lookups billed per call at low cost ($0.003 USDC), making it ideal for on-demand geocoding in agent workflows. Prefer this over batch geocoding services when processing one address at a time, and over reverse geocoders when you have an address and need coordinates (not the other way around). Note: US-only coverage — use an alternative for international addresses.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found or unresolvable — returns an error or empty result
- Non-US address supplied — endpoint only covers US addresses and will fail or return no match
- Ambiguous address with insufficient detail — may return a low-confidence match or fail
- Malformed or completely nonsensical address string — likely returns an error
- Network timeout or service unavailability — returns a server error

## How this service works

Convert a US street address to latitude/longitude with a matched, standardized address. US coverage only.

## Output

Returns the matched latitude and longitude as decimal degree values along with a standardized version of the input address, allowing the caller to confirm which location was resolved and use the coordinates in downstream geospatial workflows.
