Overview
Address Geocoder is an Apify actor that converts street addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) in bulk. Using the free Nominatim geocoding service powered by OpenStreetMap data, it processes lists of addresses and returns coordinates along with structured address components including country, state, city, county, and postal code. This tool is essential for mapping applications, location-based analytics, and data enrichment workflows.
Features
- Bulk geocoding of multiple addresses in a single run
- Returns precise latitude and longitude coordinates
- Extracts structured address components (country, state, city, ZIP)
- Confidence score for each geocoding result
- Uses free OpenStreetMap Nominatim service (no API key needed)
- Handles addresses worldwide in multiple formats
- Automatic retry on failed lookups
- Structured output ready for mapping tools
Use Cases
- Data Enrichment: Add coordinates to address databases for mapping visualization
- Location Analytics: Convert customer addresses to coordinates for spatial analysis
- Real Estate: Geocode property addresses for map-based listings
- Logistics: Convert delivery addresses to coordinates for route planning
- Market Research: Map business locations for geographic market analysis
Input Configuration
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
addresses | Array | ["1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC", "1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino CA"] | Street addresses to geocode |
Output Format
Each result includes the input address, formatted address from the geocoder, latitude, longitude, country, state, city, county, ZIP code, and confidence score. Data is stored in the default Apify dataset and can be exported to CSV, JSON, or Excel.
Integration
Connect this actor to mapping tools, GIS systems, or spreadsheets via Apify integrations. Use the Apify API to trigger geocoding from your applications. Results work directly with tools like Google Maps, Leaflet, Mapbox, and QGIS.
Limitations and Notes
Geocoding accuracy depends on the quality and specificity of input addresses. More detailed addresses produce better results. The Nominatim service has usage policies that limit request rates, so very large batches may need to be split across multiple runs. The service works best with well-formatted addresses. International addresses are supported but English-language formatting may improve results for non-English locations.
