What are OnCoord Geocoding Services?
OnCoord is a hosted geocoding service built on open data sources such as OpenStreetMap, OpenAddresses, and Overture Maps. It converts addresses, coordinates, and place names into geographic information — without the need to manage your own servers or data pipelines.
What is an API key?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. When you use OnCoord's geocoding service, we use an API key to identify your application when it makes a request to OnCoord’s services.
- Go to OnCoord.com
- Enter your email address and verify via the link we send you.
- Select your plan (Free, Lite, or higher tier) and retrieve your API key.
Keep your API key private — never expose it in public client-side code.
