# geo.memoryapi.org Geocoding

> geo.memoryapi.org Geocoding is a paid API for AI agents from geo.memoryapi.org, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Convert addresses to geographic coordinates (forward geocoding) or coordinates to addresses (reverse geocoding) via OpenStreetMap Nominatim

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://geo.memoryapi.org/x402/geo/geocode
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 geo-memoryapi-org-456272bf
```

Example prompt: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC? And also, what address is at coordinates 48.8584° N, 2.2945° E?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to convert between human-readable addresses and geographic coordinates, leveraging OpenStreetMap's global Nominatim database. Prefer this over commercial geocoders (Google, HERE) when cost sensitivity matters at $0.001/call, or when open data is preferred. Ideal for enriching datasets with coordinates or building location-aware features without vendor lock-in.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found in OpenStreetMap database returns empty results
- Ambiguous address may return multiple or incorrect matches
- Coordinates outside supported regions may return no result
- Malformed address strings may produce unexpected results
- Rate limits or payment errors may block requests

## How this service works

Geocoding, weather, and timezone data via x402 micropayments. Powered by OpenStreetMap Nominatim and Open-Meteo.

## Output

Returns geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) for a given address (forward geocoding), or a formatted address and place details for given coordinates (reverse geocoding), sourced from OpenStreetMap Nominatim data.
