Geospatial APIs — geocoding, population, demographics, economic activity, terrain, elevation profiles, POI intelligence, and site prospecting — built for Mexico, Central America, and South America.
OnCoord is a location intelligence platform built specifically for Latin America, offering geospatial services: geocoding, population density estimation, age and sex demographics, satellite-derived economic activity analysis, terrain and elevation intelligence, route elevation profiles, POI density and urbanity scoring, nearby POI search, and Dorado — a location prospecting tool that combines all of these into a single scored hexagonal map.
Each service is available as a standalone REST API, callable independently or combined to build richer workflows. All services cover Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Forward geocoding, reverse geocoding, address autocomplete, free-text search, structured search, and batch CSV geocoding. Supports country filtering, proximity biasing, and multilingual output.
Try demo →Population density per km², total population within 1km and 5km radius, for any coordinate. Derived from WorldPop 100m resolution raster data. Useful for market sizing, site selection, and coverage planning.
Try demo →Age and sex demographic breakdown for any coordinate. Returns population estimates across 18 age cohorts for male and female, derived from WorldPop age-structured datasets at 100m resolution.
Try demo →Economic activity and development index derived from NASA Black Marble VIIRS nighttime light satellite data. Returns radiance, a normalized development index, and an activity level label for any coordinate.
Try demo →Elevation in metres, slope in degrees, and slope aspect for any coordinate. Derived from the Copernicus GLO-30 Digital Elevation Model at 30m resolution. Useful for site suitability, logistics planning, and infrastructure analysis.
Try demo →Submit a route of up to 500 coordinates and receive cumulative elevation gain and loss, grade analysis, steepest sections, terrain difficulty score, and energy multiplier. GeoJSON output for direct map integration.
Try demo →POI counts within 1km and 2km across 14 categories including retail, food, health, finance, transport, and education. Returns an urbanity index that measures commercial concentration and area diversity.
Try demo →Find named venues by OpenStreetMap category within a specified radius. Returns names, distances, coordinates, and address data for each result. Supports any valid OSM key:value tag including custom categories.
Try demo →A location prospecting tool that combines population, activity, POI density, and competitor data into a scored hexagonal grid map. Identifies market gaps and high-opportunity neighborhoods for any business category.
Try Dorado →Address formats vary significantly across Latin America. Informal addresses, neighborhood aliases, inconsistent postal code coverage, multilingual naming conventions, and rapidly evolving infrastructure create challenges for traditional global geocoders.
Modern geospatial workflows require more than latitude and longitude. Organizations increasingly need population estimates, demographic breakdowns, terrain intelligence, POI density, commercial activity indicators, and spatial enrichment to support operational decisions.
Location intelligence combines geographic, demographic, economic, and infrastructure data to help organizations make better decisions. Rather than simply identifying a location on a map, it provides the context needed to understand what is happening around that location and how it compares to surrounding areas.
Retailers, franchise operators, and entrepreneurs evaluate population density, commercial activity, nearby points of interest, demographic characteristics, and competitor concentration before opening a new location. Combining population intelligence, demographics, POI density, and activity indicators helps identify underserved markets and prioritize expansion opportunities across Latin America.
Logistics providers rely on accurate location data to improve delivery efficiency and reduce operational costs. Geocoding, reverse geocoding, elevation profiles, and terrain intelligence help organizations understand route complexity across Latin America's diverse environments — from dense urban centers to mountainous terrain and remote communities.
Telecom operators and infrastructure planners analyze population distribution, demographic patterns, terrain characteristics, and development intensity when evaluating expansion opportunities. Population intelligence, demographic data, elevation models, slope analysis, and VIIRS development indicators help maximize coverage and prioritize investment.
Developers, investors, and analysts use location intelligence to understand growth patterns, economic activity, accessibility, nearby amenities, and regional demographics. Combining multiple spatial datasets reveals opportunities that may not be apparent from traditional market research alone.
South America presents unique opportunities and challenges for organizations that depend on geographic data. Rapidly growing cities, diverse terrain, evolving transportation networks, and varying levels of infrastructure development make regional analysis particularly important.
Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia each exhibit distinct demographic, geographic, and economic patterns. Effective location intelligence requires more than simple coordinates — it requires context about population, demographics, accessibility, development, commercial activity, and surrounding points of interest.
Whether evaluating a retail expansion strategy in Brazil, analyzing infrastructure opportunities in Colombia, planning logistics routes in Chile, or studying demographic patterns in Peru, OnCoord provides the geospatial APIs and location intelligence services needed to support data-driven decisions across South America.
OnCoord supports geospatial intelligence workflows across Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Central America, and additional Latin American markets.
Location intelligence services — geocoding, population, demographics, activity, terrain, elevation profiles, POI density, POI nearby, and Dorado — are available across the full coverage area.
