Introduction | Geocoding API | TomTom Developer Portal

What is TomTom's Geocoding API?

The Geocoding API is a powerful tool that converts addresses, such as "109 Park Row, New York, United States," into geographic coordinates (e.g., "lat": 40.71226, "lon": -74.00207). Designed for machine-to-machine interaction, the TomTom Geocoding API is capable of handling requests from automated systems to geocode addresses that may be incomplete, incorrectly formatted, or contain typos, providing the best possible result.

It infers geographic information given a textual place description (postal address) and additional (optional) parameters that guide the search. Examples of optional parameters include a list of countries to search for and a location to search around. The main elements in the geographic information include:

The Geocoding API provides a simple way to make a request and obtain the desired geographic information in JSON or XML formats, depending on the user's preference. Please note that this API does not return Points of Interest (POIs). It consists of the following endpoints:

Geocode

Use the geocode endpoint when you just have an address or a partial address.

Structured Geocode

Use the structured geocoding endpoint when you have data that has already been split into multiple fields such as streetNumber, streetName, city/town, and postal code.
