What is Geocoders?

Geocoders is a blazingly fast, easy-to-use platform and API tool that provides easy access to high-quality geospatial data and services. It allows users to query geospatial data via a Dashboard or integrate directly via a high-performance API.

Our initial offering covers the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) region. From country, and province down to suburbs, and buildings, with more data constantly added.

Below is a small sample of what Geocoders can do: all Suburbs (”Wijken” in Dutch) in Amsterdam delivered via our API.
