$75 gets you 1M queries/month ($0.075/1K)
$150 gets you 10M queries/month ($0.015/1K)

❓ How to use it?

Simple REST API. Here's how it works:

Sign up on Omkar Cloud by visiting this link.
Visit the API Key Page.
Copy your API key.
Make a request:

cURL:

curl -X GET "https://geocoding-api.omkar.cloud/geocode?city=New%20York" \
  -H "API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Python:

import requests

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

response = requests.get(
    "https://geocoding-api.omkar.cloud/geocode",
    params={
        "city": "New York",
    },
    headers={"API-Key": api_key}
)

data = response.json()
print(data)

JavaScript (Node.js):

import axios from "axios";

const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";

const response = await axios.get("https://geocoding-api.omkar.cloud/geocode", {
    params: { 
        city: "New York",
    },
    headers: { "API-Key": apiKey }
});

console.log(response.data);

Get your coordinates and use them.

That's it. Location data in seconds.

API Reference

Endpoint

GET https://geocoding-api.omkar.cloud/geocode

Parameters

city (required, string):
The city name you want to geocode.
state (optional, string):
State/region to disambiguate cities with the same name.
country_code (optional, string):
Two-letter ISO country code. Examples: "US", "GB", "JP".

Response

Returns an array of matching locations with coordinates:

[
  {
    "name": "New York",
    "state": "New York",
    "country_code": "US",
    "coordinates": {
      "latitude": 40.7127281,
      "longitude": -74.0060152
    }
  }
]

❓ What data does the API return?

For each matching location, you get:

name — City/place name
state — State or province
country_code — Two-letter ISO country code
coordinates — Latitude and longitude

❓ How accurate is the data?

Our coordinates are sourced from authoritative geographic databases.

Accuracy is within meters for city centers.

❓ What if multiple cities have the same name?

The API returns all matching locations. For example, searching for "New York" without filters returns:

New York, New York, US
New York, Texas, US

To narrow results, send state and/or country_code.
