This section is designed for developers working on applications and servers that integrate with the PickPoint geocoding platform. Before beginning to work with the API, it's necessary to create an account. For a quick overview of our services, please consult the Getting Started section. To begin experimenting, you simply need a tool capable of sending HTTP requests, which could be as simple as using your web browser's address bar. Additionally, you have access to GEO LAB from your account dashboard, which is another tool you can use for experimentation. This section provides details about PickPoint API V1, which is now considered obsolete. For new users, it is recommended to consider using API V2, as it offers more advanced features and capabilities. However, for those who are currently utilizing this version of the API, rest assured that continued support will be provided.
What is Geocoding?
Geocoding involves converting a physical address into exact geographical coordinates, usually in terms of latitude and longitude. This process allows for the accurate pinpointing and depiction of a particular location on a map. Through transforming addresses into coordinates, geocoding aids in spatial analysis, mapping, and incorporating location-based data into diverse applications.
How Does Geocoding Work?
Geocoding relies on a combination of address databases, reference data, and algorithms. Geocoding service takes an address as input and uses sophisticated algorithms to match it with known locations.
