Which Map API Do You Need?
Maps
Create vector and raster maps you can use as a base-map layer for Leaflet, MapLibre GL, OpenLayers, QGIS, and other map libraries and GIS.
Or use our Static Maps API to generate map images and map markers. Choose between different map styles and colors to match your app and website design.
Address and Location Search
Effortlessly search for places by name or address, convert coordinates to addresses, and determine user locations from IP addresses with Geoapify's advanced geocoding capabilities. Choose from a broad set of options to meet your business requirements. Our Geocoding API supports multiple languages.
You can download and use your results freely thanks to our permissive conditions.
Places, Details, and Postcodes
Search for amenities, points of interest, and postcodes with our comprehensive APIs. The Postcode API enables advanced postcode lookups, including queries by text, geometry (radius or bounding box), and administrative areas.
Our APIs support a wide range of place types, categories, and detailed postcode information, including structured address data and original geometry. You can filter results by location, bounding box, isolines, and more.
Routes and Optimization
Optimize and calculate efficient routes for single vehicles or entire fleets. Access detailed route geometry, road attributes, and turn-by-turn directions for superior navigation.
Our flexible location platform makes it easy to create and plan routes for logistics and delivery companies. From postal services to food delivery, and from maintenance and care workers, to store deliveries, our platform gives you the routing tools you need.
- Routing API
- Route Matrix API - calculate distance and time between multiple points
- Map Matching API - match GPS coordinates to existing roads
- Route Planner API - solve VRP related tasks
Isolines API
Isolines show what areas are reachable within a given time or travel distance and are great for analytics, logistics, and calculating service areas.
We offer isochrones and isodistances for multiple modes of transport including drive, truck, bicycle, walk, and transit. Find reachable areas up to 5 hours or 1000 kilometers wide.
- Isolines API - isochrones and isodistances
- Geometry API - find union or intersection of several areas
