# NoJunk Geo — Geocode

> NoJunk Geo — Geocode is a paid API for AI agents from nojunk-geo.mick8511.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Converts a place name or address string into geographic coordinates and a structured address object, charged per successful result in USDC via x402.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://nojunk-geo.mick8511.workers.dev/geocode?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402

- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_-gHXK2cF9nTAYD788wcpF

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 nojunk-geo-geocode-577a1ea0
```

Example prompt: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC? Just give me the top result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap, pay-per-successful-call geocoding solution for AI agents that already use the x402 micropayment protocol on Base. It is ideal when you need structured address output plus coordinates from a plain text place name or address, especially when feeding into the sibling /weather endpoint. Prefer this over free geocoding APIs when you want usage-based billing without subscription overhead, and over proprietary geocoding (Google, HERE) when cost per call and open data licensing (ODbL) are acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Query string too short or too long (outside 1–200 characters) — returns 400 validation error
- No matching location found — returns empty results array, no charge
- Ambiguous query with no country filter — may return unexpected country's result
- Nominatim upstream outage — 502 or 503 response
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — 402 response, no result returned
- Rate limits from upstream Nominatim if query volume is very high

## How this service works

Cheap geocoding, reverse geocoding and weather for AI agents, paid per call in USDC on Base via x402: /geocode turns a place name or address into coordinates and a structured address, /reverse turns coordinates into an address, /weather returns current conditions and a 7-day forecast for coordinates or a place name. Data from OpenStreetMap Nominatim (ODbL, attribution required) and Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0). You are only charged when a result is returned.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the original query, data source attribution, and an array of results — each result containing latitude, longitude, place type, importance score, bounding box, a human-readable display name, and a structured address (city, road, state, county, country, postcode, country code, house number). Also includes a fetched_at timestamp and ODbL attribution string.
