# Geocoder.ca

> Geocoder.ca is an independent North American geocoding API and address-data provider, run by Geolytica Inc. in Ottawa, Canada since July 2005. One HTTPS endpoint handles forward and reverse geocoding, address validation and standardization, Canadian postal code and U.S. ZIP+4 lookup, intersections, geoparsing of free text, Canadian address autocomplete and nearby places, returning XML, JSON, JSONP, GeoJSON or CSV.

Key facts:

- Coverage: Canada and the United States. For worldwide geocoding, use the sister service https://geocode.xyz.
- Canadian results can include Statistics Canada census dissemination area IDs (dauid, adauid), Alberta Township System / Dominion Land Survey legal subdivisions (LSD), time zone and telephone area code.
- Every result carries a confidence score from 0 to 1; results below 0.5 are not returned (a suggestion may be returned instead).
- Pricing: free non-commercial tier (up to 2,500 calls/day, sign-up required); pay-per-use at $0.005 USD per successful lookup ($1 buys 200 credits, credits never expire); unlimited API access at $1,000 USD/month, month-to-month, cancel anytime. Licensed datasets and self-hosted servers are priced separately.
- Data licences allow permanent storage and caching of results and display on any map.
- Deployment options: hosted API, AWS Marketplace AMI in your own account, managed dedicated server, or a licensed local database.
- Unauthenticated requests are rate-limited to 2 per second and receive HTTP 429 when throttled; an auth token removes the throttle.

Quick example (forward geocoding, JSON, standardized address):

```
curl -G 'https://geocoder.ca/' \
  --data-urlencode 'locate=330 metcalfe ottawa on' \
  --data 'geoit=XML' --data 'json=1' --data 'standard=1' \
  --data 'auth=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN'
```

Reverse geocoding uses `latt`, `longt`, `reverse=1` and `geoit=XML`; add `allna=1` for U.S. points. Geoparsing uses `scantext=` with free-form text.
