How this service works
Geocoding for AI agents in one sub-cent call: forward geocoding (place name or address to coordinates), reverse geocoding (lat/lon to address) and place search. Open-Meteo + BigDataCloud, keyless, unified schema, USDC-payable via x402 on Base.
Output
A JSON object containing the matched location's latitude, longitude, place name, first- and second-level administrative regions, country name, country code, IANA timezone string, population, and feature code, along with the data source, a unique request ID, and a timestamp. If no match is found, the location field is null.
Example use cases
Resolve delivery address to coordinates
“I need to geocode '221B Baker Street, London' — can you get me the latitude, longitude, and country details so I can pass them to our routing system?”
Enrich city data for weather lookup
“I have the city name 'Tokyo' and need its exact coordinates and timezone so I can fetch a weather forecast for it.”
Geolocate user-entered place for mapping
“A user typed 'Sydney Opera House' into our app — can you convert that to lat/lon coordinates so I can pin it on the map?”
