Location & Mapping APIs
Location APIs split along a few lines: geocoding that turns addresses into coordinates, IP geolocation, routing engines, map tiles, postal-code databases and place directories. Many run on OpenStreetMap data, such as Nominatim, which is free and needs no key, and OSRM for routing. Commercial platforms like Google Maps Platform and TomTom add their own data behind an API key with free quotas.

Choosing a Location & Mapping API
Is there a free Location & Mapping API?
Yes. Nominatim, administrative-divisions-db, API Adresse, API Géo, BD API and 26 others are free to use, and Mapbox Geocoding, IPinfo, AbstractAPI IP Geolocation, Apiip, ApogeoAPI and 57 others have a free tier alongside paid plans.
Which Location & Mapping APIs work without an API key?
Nominatim, administrative-divisions-db, API Adresse, API Géo, BD API and 36 others need no key or sign-up, so you can try them with a plain request.
Can I call a Location & Mapping API from front-end JavaScript?
Nominatim, administrative-divisions-db, API Adresse, API Géo, BD API and 32 others allow cross-origin requests and need no key, so they work straight from the browser. For the others, call them from your server so your key stays private.
Can I use Location & Mapping APIs in a commercial project?
Mapbox Geocoding, IPinfo, API Adresse, ApogeoAPI, AtlasFetch and 44 others permit commercial use. Nominatim, AbstractAPI IP Geolocation, Apiip, Ducks Unlimited, GeoDescription and 16 others restrict it, for example to non-commercial or attributed use, so read the terms first.
Which Location & Mapping APIs work with AI agents?
ip.app and IP99 have both an MCP server and an OpenAPI spec. ApogeoAPI, AtlasFetch, CARTO Basemaps, FindSaunaPlunge, LatLng and 1 other have an MCP server, so an AI agent can call them directly. AbstractAPI IP Geolocation, bng2latlong, Geocodio, GeoDataSource, Geomelon and 15 others publish an OpenAPI spec for generating clients and tools.
