Geoapify drop-in replacement

Geoapify's geocoding endpoints return GeoJSON FeatureCollections with a flat properties object. geoapify.mygeocode.com returns the same, including the rank and datasource blocks, plus its IP info endpoint.

Change one hostname

Original host	`api.geoapify.com`
Use instead	`geoapify.mygeocode.com`
Key parameter	`apiKey` (put your My Geocode key here, or leave it out for the free 2,500 a day)

Before

curl "https://api.geoapify.com/v1/geocode/search?text=Dam+1+Amsterdam&apiKey=YOUR_GEOAPIFY_KEY"

After

curl "https://geoapify.mygeocode.com/v1/geocode/search?text=Dam+1+Amsterdam&apiKey=YOUR_MYGEOCODE_KEY"

Why people move

Geoapify's free plan is 3,000 credits a day with attribution required. Here it is 2,500 requests a day with no attribution requirement, and paid usage has no monthly tier to outgrow.

Try it before you sign up for anything. Requests to geoapify.mygeocode.com count toward the same 2,500 a day you get on our own endpoints, with no key and no account. Above that, credits at $0.001 per request or €50 a month unlimited. Signing up takes an email address and nothing else.

Details and differences

result_type uses Geoapify's vocabulary: building, street, postcode, city, county, state, country, amenity.
format=json is supported as an alternative to GeoJSON, as on Geoapify.
The type, filter, bias, lang and limit parameters are honoured.

If your client depends on a field or behaviour that is not listed here, tell us. Compatibility gaps get fixed quickly because they are usually small.
