🌍 Photon Geocoder Scraper

🚀 Turn place names into coordinates and coordinates into addresses in one run. Powered by Photon by komoot on top of OpenStreetMap, with no API key required.

Photon Geocoder Scraper takes any text query such as "Brandenburg Gate, Berlin" and returns ranked matching locations with latitude, longitude, full address parts, OSM identifiers, and a ready map link. It also works in reverse, turning a latitude and longitude pair into the nearest named place or address.

Coverage is worldwide because Photon indexes the global OpenStreetMap dataset. You can geocode landmarks, streets, house numbers, cities, regions, and countries, and read back structured fields like postcode, district, county, state, country, and country code whenever the underlying OSM object provides them.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Data engineers and analysts	Enrich address lists with coordinates
Logistics and delivery teams	Validate and standardize delivery points
Travel and mapping builders	Power search boxes and place autocomplete
Marketers and sales ops	Geocode leads for territory planning
Researchers and journalists	Map locations from open data

📋 What the Photon Geocoder Scraper does

Forward geocoding: text query to one or more matching locations with coordinates.
Reverse geocoding: a latitude and longitude pair to the nearest place or address.
Returns clean structured address parts: name, street, house number, postcode, locality, district, city, county, state, country, and country code.
Adds a composed displayName, an OpenStreetMap mapUrl, the bounding box extent, and the raw OSM identifiers osmId and osmType.
Auto-detects mode from your input, so you never pick a mode manually.
Language preference for result names where translations exist.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: category, country, displayName, latitude, longitude, mapUrl, postcode, results, scrapedAt, type. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

🚀 How to use

Create a free Apify account using this sign-up link.
Open the Photon Geocoder Scraper in Apify Console.
Enter a Search Query for forward geocoding, or a Latitude and Longitude pair for reverse geocoding.
Set Max Items and an optional result language, then click Start.
Watch the run finish and browse or connect the results to your own systems.
