La API de Geocoding es un servicio que proporciona geocodificación y geocodificación inversa de direcciones.
La geocodificación es el proceso que convierte direcciones (como una dirección particular) en coordenadas geográficas (como latitud y longitud) que puedes usar para colocar marcadores en un mapa o posicionarlo.
La geocodificación inversa es el proceso de conversión de coordenadas geográficas en direcciones legibles por humanos.
También puedes usar la API de Geocoding para buscar la dirección de un ID de lugar específico.
Ejemplo de solicitud y respuesta
Puedes acceder a la API de Geocoding a través de una interfaz HTTP. A continuación, se incluyen ejemplos de solicitudes de geocodificación y geocodificación inversa.
Solicitud y respuesta de geocodificación (búsqueda de latitud y longitud)
En el siguiente ejemplo, se solicita la latitud y la longitud de "1600 Amphitheatre
Parkway, Mountain View, CA" y se especifica que el resultado debe estar en formato JSON.
Para probar esto, ingresa la URL en tu navegador web (asegúrate de reemplazar
YOUR_API_KEY por tu clave de API real).
En la respuesta se incluyen la latitud y longitud de la dirección.
A continuación, se muestra un ejemplo de respuesta de geocodificación, en JSON:
{"results":[{"address_components":[{"long_name":"1600","short_name":"1600","types":["street_number"]},{"long_name":"Amphitheatre Parkway","short_name":"Amphitheatre Pkwy","types":["route"]},{"long_name":"Mountain View","short_name":"Mountain View","types":["locality","political"]},{"long_name":"Santa Clara County","short_name":"Santa Clara County","types":["administrative_area_level_2","political"]},{"long_name":"California","short_name":"CA","types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"]},{"long_name":"United States","short_name":"US","types":["country","political"]},{"long_name":"94043","short_name":"94043","types":["postal_code"]}],"formatted_address":"1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA","geometry":{"location":{"lat":37.4267861,"lng":-122.0806032},"location_type":"ROOFTOP","viewport":{"northeast":{"lat":37.4281350802915,"lng":-122.0792542197085},"southwest":{"lat":37.4254371197085,"lng":-122.0819521802915}}},"place_id":"ChIJtYuu0V25j4ARwu5e4wwRYgE","plus_code":{"compound_code":"CWC8+R3 Mountain View, California, United States","global_code":"849VCWC8+R3"},"types":["street_address"]}],"status":"OK"}
Solicitud y respuesta de geocodificación inversa (búsqueda de dirección)
En el siguiente ejemplo, se solicita la dirección correspondiente a una latitud o longitud determinada en Brooklyn, Nueva York, EE.UU. Se especifica que la salida debe tener un formato JSON.
Para probar esto, ingresa la URL en tu navegador web (asegúrate de reemplazar
"YOUR_API_KEY" por tu clave de API real).
La respuesta incluye una dirección legible por humanos para la ubicación de latitud y longitud.
A continuación, se muestra un ejemplo de respuesta de geocodificación inversa, en JSON:
