Getting Started
The Geo Suite REST APIs provide a variety of location based services supporting a wide range of devices and applications. The APIs are designed for multiple platforms including web, mobile, and low-power/low-bandwidth IoT devices. Each API has documentation and a test page.
All APIs return a standard HTTP status code to indicate success or error. The Status Codes are documented below. The APIs return results in JSON format.
All APIs require an API Key parameter (APIKEY) as part of the request. The APIKEY identifies your application to our system. For developer accounts, each APIKEY is limited to a certain number of transactions per month depending on the API being called. You can request your own APIKEY by completing and submitting the Request API Key form.
