How this service works
Location and time data for agents: weather now + 7-day forecast (MET Norway), geocoding and reverse geocoding (OpenStreetMap Nominatim), sunrise/sunset, world time-zone conversion and public holidays (Nager.Date). Real open data fetched at call time, attribution included. $0.001 per call. By orbit-builder.
Output
A JSON array of up to 5 geocode matches, each containing latitude, longitude, full display name, place type and class, importance score, bounding box, and a structured address object with fields like road, city, state, postcode, country, and country code. Returns 404 (not billed) if no match is found.
Example use cases
Pinning a landmark on a map
“What are the coordinates for the Colosseum in Rome? Give me up to 3 results with their full display names so I can pick the right one.”
Geocoding a delivery address
“I need the lat/lon for 221B Baker Street, London — can you look that up and give me the structured address breakdown too?”
Finding coordinates for a city center
“Can you geocode 'downtown Austin, Texas' and return the top result's coordinates and bounding box?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://orbit-geo.orbit-builder.workers.dev/v1/geocode?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to convert a human-readable place name or address into geographic coordinates (lat/lon) with structured address data, especially when OpenStreetMap coverage is sufficient and cost per call ($0.001 USDC) is a factor. Prefer this over paid geocoding APIs (Google Maps, HERE) for open-data use cases, OSM-licensed projects, or high-volume lookups where cost matters. It returns up to 5 candidate matches, making it useful for disambiguation.
Side effects
- 404 returned when no match found for the query string (not charged)
- Ambiguous or misspelled place names may return unexpected or low-relevance results
- Limit parameter outside 1-5 range may cause validation error
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns an error or runs example input
- Rural or very obscure locations may not be in OpenStreetMap data
