Geocoding API

Geocoding API is a simple tool that we have developed to ease the search for locations while working with geographic names and coordinates.

Supporting API calls by geographical coordinates is the most accurate way to specify any location, that is why this method is integrated in all OpenWeather APIs. However, this way is not always suitable for all users.
Geocoding is the process of transformation of any location name into geographical coordinates, and the other way around (reverse geocoding). OpenWeather’s Geocoding API supports both the direct and reverse methods, working at the level of city names, areas and districts, countries and states:

  • Direct geocoding converts the specified name of a location or zip/post code into the exact geographical coordinates;
  • Reverse geocoding converts the geographical coordinates into the names of the nearby locations.

Direct geocoding

Direct geocoding allows to get geographical coordinates (lat, lon) by using name of the location (city name or area name). If you use the limit parameter in the API call, you can cap how many locations with the same name will be seen in the API response (for instance, London in the UK and London in the US).

Coordinates by location name

How to make an API call

API call

http://api.openweathermap.org/geo/1.0/direct?q={city name},{state code},{country code}&limit={limit}&appid={API key}
Parameters
q required City name, state code (only for the US) and country code divided by comma. Please use ISO 3166 country codes.
appid required Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
limit optional Number of the locations in the API response (up to 5 results can be returned in the API response)

Example of API call
