Geocode Addresses to Coordinates
Convert street addresses into precise latitude and longitude coordinates for mapping and spatial analysis.
Address Geocoding
Addresses to coordinates and back
Convert between addresses and geographic coordinates. Forward geocode any address to get latitude/longitude, or reverse geocode coordinates to get the nearest street address. Useful for mapping, logistics, and location-aware workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I geocode a partial address?
Yes. `geocode_address` accepts full or partial addresses, and the most specific input usually gives the best match.
How do I turn coordinates back into a street address?
Use `reverse_geocode` with latitude and longitude. It returns the nearest human-readable address with street, city, state, country, and postal code.
What if a search returns multiple matches?
The geocoding response includes an importance score from 0 to 1, which helps you pick the strongest match when more than one result looks plausible.
Can I use this for a list of addresses?
Yes. The tool is optimized for one address at a time, so for bulk work you call `geocode_address` once per address in sequence.
