Review on OpenCage Geocoding API by David Caldwell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great option if looking into getting quick access to accurate data

Simple, reliable service. Quick response time when needed or questions arise about their service. Really good with feedback and open minded in regard to suggestions for improvement of their product/service. Nothing in particular I dislike too much about this platform but maybe some minor features could be useful as well (such as automatic address completion). This solution works great for our current project needs, providing us fast results without any hassles. Easy way to get geolocated addresses within a specific radius of certain locations across many countries. The API is very easy to use and it has a good documentation. I like that it has a free plan and a paid plan. I also like the fact that it's easy to understand and use. I don't like that you can't test it yourself, so it's a bit daunting to use. I would recommend OpenCage Geocoding API, but be sure to test it first. I use OpenCage Geocoding API to geocode addresses. I geocode addresses with a simple API call and I get the lat/long coordinates.
