    Overview

    The Reverse GeoCoder Cloud API provides the closest valid address(es), based on an input latitude and longitude. You can set the distance from the input coordinates (to reduce the number of returned output addresses) and a maximum number of records to be returned by the service.

    Reverse GeoCoder can be used to:

    • Create a mailing list within a specific radius for targeted marketing.
    • Use in mobile apps for emergency location purposes & provide roadside help.
    • Identify the closest valid address(es) based on an input latitude and longitude
    • Provide the closest Postal Code(s), Carrier Route(s) or Plus4(s) based on an input latitude and longitude.
    • Create a dealer locator: Provide the closest valid address, Melissa Address Key (MAK) and distance from a provided list of MAKs based on an input latitude and longitude or MAK.
