About this API
Forward and reverse geocoding with rooftop-level precision, plus autocomplete, place search, timezone resolution, and distance-matrix routing. Global coverage assembled from open and commercial datasets and refreshed weekly.
Common use cases
Quickstart
Every Zephiel API uses the same base URL, the same key header, and the same error envelope.
curl -X GET "https://zephiel.com/api/v1/geocoding/forward" \
-H "X-Zephiel-Key: $ZEPHIEL_API_KEY" \
-H "Accept: application/json"Example response
{
"query": "1 Ozumba Mbadiwe Ave, Victoria Island",
"results": [{
"formatted": "1 Ozumba Mbadiwe Ave, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria",
"latitude": 6.4281,
"longitude": 3.4219,
"confidence": 0.94
}]
}/v1/geocoding/forwardAddress or place name to coordinates/v1/geocoding/reverseCoordinates to a formatted address/v1/geocoding/autocompleteType-ahead address suggestions/v1/geocoding/timezoneTimezone and UTC offset for a pointAll endpoints return JSON and accept the X-Zephiel-Key header. Rate limits are enforced per plan and reported in X-RateLimit-Remaining.
Plans can be changed or cancelled at any time. Overage is charged per 1,000 requests rather than hard-blocking your traffic.

Now handles delivery routing too
We adopted Geocoding & Places for address autocomplete and ended up using it for delivery routing as well. Same key, no new contract, no second integration.
Marcus Adeyemi
Lead Developer
Support answered properly
Asked Northwind Data about an edge case in Geocoding & Places and got an explanation from someone who had clearly read the code, not a link to the FAQ.
Ravi Menon
Solutions Architect
Quietly reliable
Geocoding & Places has not surprised us once in eight months of production traffic. That is the highest compliment I can pay a dependency.
Blessing Okafor
Data Engineer
One key made the difference
Adding Geocoding & Places took ten minutes because the credential already existed. The vendor onboarding we skipped would have taken longer than the integration.
Laura Bennett
Director of Engineering
Solved Address autocomplete for us
We brought Geocoding & Places in for Address autocomplete and it has not needed revisiting since. The response shape matched the documentation on the first call, which is rarer than it should be.
Henrik Solberg
Backend Lead
Fast enough to sit in the request path
74ms median is quick enough that we call Geocoding & Places synchronously rather than queueing it. That removed a whole background worker from our architecture.
Priya Sundaram
Staff Engineer
Free tier covered the whole prototype
I built the entire store locators flow against Geocoding & Places before anyone had to approve a purchase order. By the time we paid, we already knew it worked.
Kwame Boateng
Integrations Lead
Replaced a fragile in-house places job
We had a script doing territory analysis that broke every few months and only one person understood. Geocoding & Places replaced it in an afternoon and nobody maintains it now.
