# Saylor Innovations Environmental Geocoding

> Saylor Innovations Environmental Geocoding is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Geocodes a street address or landmark query to latitude/longitude coordinates, returning up to five ranked results with country, region, and place type via OpenStreetMap

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 saylor-innovations-environmental-geocoding-43fd158f
```

Example prompt: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for the Empire State Building in New York City? Give me the top ranked results including country and region.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve a free-text street address, place name, or landmark to geographic coordinates with ranked candidates and country/region context. It is backed by OpenStreetMap/Nominatim, making it suitable for global coverage without requiring a commercial mapping API key. Prefer it when you need up to five ranked geocoding results with place type metadata rather than a single best-guess coordinate. It is especially useful for enriching datasets, validating addresses, or powering location-aware workflows at low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found: 'found' is false and results array is empty
- Ambiguous query returns irrelevant or lower-confidence results ranked first
- Landmark name variation or misspelling yields no match
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 429
- Malformed or empty address query returns an error response

## How this service works

Geocode a street address or landmark to latitude and longitude - up to five ranked results with country, region and type (OpenStreetMap)

## Output

A JSON object containing a boolean 'found' flag, the interpreted query string, a list of up to five ranked results (each with latitude, longitude, display name, country, region, and place type), the data source (OpenStreetMap), a scope note, optional attribution, and a UTC timestamp of retrieval.
