A data processing agreement now available on request
Organizations with their own compliance requirements can now request a data processing agreement covering how My Geocode handles personal data.
What we shipped this month: geocoding, IP, time zone and more
It has been a busy stretch across the whole platform, touching compatibility, performance, and the dashboard alike, so it is worth stepping back and looking at the shape of it together rather than one change at a time.
On compatibility, our lineup now covers seventeen hosts in total, reproducing the request and response shape of Google Maps Platform, Bing Maps REST Services, HERE Geocoding and Search, Mapbox Geocoding, Geocode.Farm, OpenStreetMap Nominatim, OpenCage, LocationIQ, Geoapify, TomTom Search, MapQuest Geocoding, Geocodio, PositionStack, ip-api.com, ipinfo.io, ipstack and Open-Elevation, each one switchable with just a host name and a key. The full list, kept current, lives at /compatibility/, alongside migration guides for anyone moving an existing integration over at /docs/compatibility/.
On performance, we rebuilt the lookup table behind /v1/timezone for faster responses, refreshed the elevation data behind /v1/elevation for better accuracy in mountainous terrain, and completed an infrastructure upgrade that reduced response times across every endpoint and every compatibility host. None of that required any changes on the integration side. IP, time zone and elevation lookups all remain fully working endpoints you can rely on for real, populated responses today.
On the dashboard, accounts can now enable two-factor authentication, switch to dark mode, and set a preferred language, all from account settings. A referral program rewards anyone who sends us a paying customer, coupon codes can be applied directly against an account, and our support team now works from canned replies to answer common questions faster.
On data and endpoints, postal code coverage has grown to include more countries, with specific attention paid to accuracy in rural and low-density areas that are historically harder to map well. IPv6 is now handled consistently across every endpoint and every compatibility host, sharing the same free allowance and quota structure as IPv4. IP lookups can also return optional threat and network detail by adding mg_extras=1 or an X-MG-Extras header.
Through all of it, the fundamentals have not moved. Any address gets 2,500 free requests a day with no key required, counted per network. Every key adds its own 2,500 free requests a day. Beyond that, prepaid credit is €0.0001 a request, or an Unlimited package covers everything for €50 a month, paid by PayPal, cryptocurrency, or bank transfer, with every endpoint and every compatibility host costing exactly the same.
We build and run a geocoding API. That is the whole company, and updates like this reflect the same focus applied consistently across compatibility, performance, and the tools around the API itself. Full documentation for everything mentioned here is at /docs/, and current pricing is at /pricing/.
