LocationIQ

LocationIQ delivers flexible enterprise-grade location-based solutions. Every request to the tool’s APIs or Map is required to be authenticated with a token. For user-facing applications like Javascript websites or mobile apps, users can generate new access tokens directly on the User Dashboard. Access tokens can be used in both public (websites, apps) and private (server backends) environments. Locationiq’s Search API enables converting addresses, such as a street address into geographic coordinates with latitude and longitude. These coordinates serve multiple use-cases, from placing markers on a map to aiding algorithms to determine bus stops nearby. With advanced features such as Reverse geocoding, the tool converts coordinates (latitude, longitude) to a readable address or place name. LocationIQ even includes worldwide coverage from New York to Tokyo powered by data from OpenStreetMap, Open Addresses and other sources. Its fair pricing structure with no complex agreements and no long-term commitments or hidden charges brand it as a reliable niche tool.
