French Address Geocoder (BAN) — Pro

Free Apify actor. Forward and reverse geocoding on the official Base Adresse Nationale (BAN), with a developer-grade runtime. Geocodage et geocodage inverse d'adresses francaises.

Source: api-adresse.data.gouv.fr (Etalab / DINUM). No API key. Open Licence 2.0.

Modes

  • forward — addresses in queries -> coordinates + normalised address.
  • reversecoordinates ("lat,lon") -> nearest address, with distance_m.

Options & filters

type (housenumber/street/locality/municipality), resultsPerQuery, autocomplete, postcodeFilter, citycodeFilter, and priorityLat/ priorityLon to bias forward results toward a location.

Runtime (developer-grade)

Bounded parallelism (maxConcurrency), global maxItems cap, de-duplication by BAN id, resilient HTTP client (timeout, backoff+jitter, 429/5xx), optional Apify proxy, structured logs, and a run summary in the key-value store (OUTPUT).

Output (forward, trimmed)

{
"query": "8 boulevard du Port 95000 Cergy", "status": "found",
"label": "8 Boulevard du Port 95000 Cergy", "score": 0.88,
"postcode": "95000", "city": "Cergy", "citycode": "95127",
"longitude": 2.062821, "latitude": 49.031624
}

Every entry yields an item with status: found, not_found, error.

Use cases

  • Batch-geocode a store/customer list for maps and routing.
  • Reverse-geocode GPS logs to postal addresses.
  • Normalise and validate French addresses; enrich with INSEE codes.

Limitations & fair use

  • BAN covers France (metropole + DOM). Non-French addresses will not match.
  • Use maxConcurrency responsibly on this shared public API.
