Reverse Geocode converts latitude and longitude coordinates into US and Canada location details. Pass geographic coordinates to retrieve the corresponding city, state, postal code, and country code.
The Reverse Geocode API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate reverse geocode functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready reverse geocode capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callReverseGeocodeAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
lat: 40.714224,
lon: -73.961452
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/reversegeocode?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callReverseGeocodeAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/reversegeocode?lat=40.714224&lon=-73.961452" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
