The Geocoding API is a web service that transforms latitude and longitude values into human-readable addresses. It can be used for location mapping, customer data analysis and geographic pattern recognition.
In a typical address lookup, the location field is the most important one. However, the level of granularity depends on how precise you need it. You can also get geocodes in free form text format using the geocode endpoint.
With the geocoding API, you can make a request using your API key. Once you provide your API key, you will receive an email with a link to your account's administration panel. This gives you a way to check the daily usage of your API. If you do not have an API key, you can use the Maps JavaScript API client to make a similar request.
You can also monitor your Geocoding API usage with an HTTP request. You will need to set the limit parameter to limit the number of locations in the API response.
You can get real-time information about your API use by checking the HTTP headers in your response. For instance, you can read the response's "ok" or "partial_match" value. Usually, "OK" means that no errors occurred and at least one address was returned.
A partial match occurs when the geocoder cannot find a complete match for part of your request. Partial matches are most often found for street addresses that do not exist in the locality.
