computermax2328 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi All, It is nice to be back on the forum again! I was wondering if anyone knew about any cost effective API's for geocoding. For anyone who does not know what geocoding is, it is when a user submits an address and you then convert or geocode that address into latitude and longitude. A project that I am starting up requires an API that uses latitude and longitude and the parameters in the method. I know that Google, Map Quest and Yahoo all have API's for geocoding, but I am looking for something a little more cost effective that can take a little more traffic before hitting the limit. Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/283675-geocoding/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 https://github.com/geocoder-php/Geocoder Simply chain Google, Yahoo, MapQuest, OpenStreetMaps, etc.. If you hit your limit, it simply selects the next one in the chain.
