Address Geocode: US Census Address & UK Postcode Lookup

Geocode US street addresses with the official U.S. Census Bureau geocoder (lat/lon, county, census tract, block group, congressional district, GEOIDs) and look up UK postcodes (ONS via postcodes.io: region, council, ward, constituency, NHS ICB). No match = not charged. Pay per lookup.

Turn a US street address or a UK postcode into coordinates and official areas, straight from government sources. Built for AI agents (delivery, logistics, real estate, tax, CRM) and usable from the Apify MCP server.

What it does

  • US addresses (usAddresses): matched by the official U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder (benchmark Public_AR_Current). Returns the standardised address, latitude/longitude, state, county, place, census tract, block group, block, ZIP code tabulation area, metro area, school district and congressional district, each with its official GEOID.
  • UK postcodes (ukPostcodes): looked up in the ONS Postcode Directory via postcodes.io. Returns latitude/longitude, country, region, local authority, ward, parish, parliamentary constituency (2024 boundaries), NHS ICB, police force and LSOA.

Example

Input:

{"usAddresses": ["1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500"], "ukPostcodes": ["M1 1AE"]}

Output (shortened, real values):

{"endpoint": "us_geocode", "ok": true, "result": {"matched_address": "1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC, 20500", "lat": 38.898703, "lon": -77.035189, "geographies": {"state": {"name": "District of Columbia", "geoid": "11"}, "county": {"name": "District of Columbia", "geoid": "11001"}}}, "charged_event": "us-geocode"}
{"endpoint": "uk_postcode", "ok": true, "result": {"postcode": "M1 1AE", "lat": 53.483487, "lon": -2.231182, "admin_district": "Manchester", "parliamentary_constituency": "Manchester Central"}, "charged_event": "uk-postcode"}

Limits (honest)

  • US coordinates are interpolated along Census address ranges (street-level precision, not rooftop).
  • US: street addresses with a house number only (no PO boxes). Some very new or private addresses (campuses, new developments) are not yet in the Census ranges and return no_match (not charged).
  • UK: postcode lookup only, not full address matching.
  • No coverage outside the US and the UK yet.
