FAQ

Are there free Geocoding APIs without an API key?

Yes. 54 free Geocoding APIs need no API key or sign-up, including ipwhois API, administrative-divisons-db API and HackMyIP API. You can send a request straight away.

Which keyless Geocoding APIs can I call from JavaScript in the browser?

23 of them also support CORS, including ipwhois API, administrative-divisons-db API and HackMyIP API, so a plain fetch from a web page works.

Do APIs without a key have limits?

Usually, yes. Keyless APIs typically rate-limit by IP address, so cache responses and avoid tight loops. For production traffic, an API with a free key tier often gives higher, more predictable limits.
