Implementation notes
When to use Geocodify
Geocodify offers 25,000 calls/month free — the most generous monthly quota in the geocoding category for a keyed API — making it practical for batch workflows and moderate-traffic applications. It supports both forward and reverse geocoding over HTTPS with an OpenStreetMap backend.
Common pitfalls
- The `demo` key used in health check URLs returns an error for real queries. Register for a free key at geocodify.com — the process is straightforward and the key is active immediately.
- Geocodify's response structure nests results under `response.features[]` as GeoJSON. The address components are inside `properties.geocoding` as a separate object. Developers expecting a flat address object will need to navigate the nesting.
- The API does not support batch geocoding in a single request — each address requires one HTTP call. For bulk geocoding, you are responsible for rate-limiting your requests to stay within the 25,000/month budget.
- Result quality for non-Western address formats (Chinese, Arabic, Japanese) is inconsistent. Geocodify inherits OpenStreetMap's coverage quality, which varies significantly by region. For East Asian addresses, test accuracy before committing to the service.
