Geo code a single address

Our service enables you to accurately pinpoint on a map the location of a single address within England, Wales or Scotland.

Key amongst the many uses for this method is the ability for delivery drivers to see a map on a mobile app of where a customer lives, making it easier for them to find the property. Similarly, companies’ operational and customer service staff can see exactly where a customer lives and where the goods/services need to be shipped to. Estate agencies and investigation organisations would also benefit from being able to accurately pinpoint on a map the location of a property.

API method to use: address_geo_code

Note: This method returns accurate geo-co-ordinates for a single address in England, Wales or Scotland. There is no address level data available for Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, however the geo_code method is available for these territories.

How it works

The method returns WGS84 Latitude and Longitude, plus OSGB36 Northing and Easting values and UPRN for a single address providing the following required information is entered:

• Full UK Postcode
• Address line 1

The method will attempt to identify a single address based on those parameters. If the entered parameters return a small number (2-6) of addresses for which a user selection is required, the method is re-entered with an item from that list. The method is ONLY chargeable when a single full geo-coded address is returned.
