getlon.lat

This simple website helps users find the geocoding service (API) that meets their needs. It was built as part of a research process to identify the right service for one particular software vendor, in March 2018. For that reason, it currently has a bias towards Australian coverage.

The data will go out of date quickly, so: contributors are very much wanted to help keep it fresh. Just submit a pull request for changes to plans.js.

Scope

The site aims to include publicly-hosted geocoding APIs.

Excluded for now:

• Geoocoding software that must be downloaded and installed (such as Pelias and Data61's gnaf geocoder.)
• User-facing websites that allow upload of spreadsheets, but don't have APIs, such as JoinAddress.

Building

yarn install
yarn run build

This produces output in ./dist.

See official install instruction for yarn. It is important especially on Debian-based system such as Ubuntu where standard installation method may result in cmdtest becoming installed instead.
