# Suverse Geo Reverse Geocoding (BigDataCloud)

> Suverse Geo Reverse Geocoding (BigDataCloud) is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Reverse-geocodes latitude/longitude coordinates into human-readable place names including country, state, city, locality, and postcode with ISO codes and admin hierarchy.

## Facts

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 suverse-geo-reverse-geocoding-bigdatacloud-bca4791c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What city, state, and country is at coordinates 37.7749° N, 122.4194° W? I need the full place name with ISO codes and postcode.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need keyless reverse geocoding without managing your own API credentials, and you want ISO codes plus full admin hierarchy (country → state → city → locality → postcode) from a single call. Prefer it over forward geocoding services when you already have coordinates and need human-readable place names. It's especially suited for agentic pipelines that pay per-call via x402 without pre-registration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range coordinates (e.g. lat > 90 or lon > 180) return an error or empty result
- Coordinates in remote ocean areas may return country-level data only with no city or postcode
- Malformed request body (missing lat/lon fields) returns a validation error
- Upstream BigDataCloud service outage causes 502 or timeout

## How this service works

Reverse-geocode lat/lon to country, state, city, locality and postcode via keyless BigDataCloud. Returns ISO codes and admin hierarchy. For agents turning coordinates into human-readable place names.

## Output

Returns a structured location object including country name, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3 country codes, principal subdivision (state/province), city name, locality, postcode, and the full administrative hierarchy for the given coordinates.
