Free geocoding and maps APIs
Address lookup, reverse geocoding, routing and place data. Every major provider meters geocoding tightly, so the free options here are worth knowing before you commit to a paid plan.
How this list was ordered. There is no reliable popularity signal in the source registries, so entries are ranked by how completely the record is documented — a substantial description plus a documentation, repository or base URL — and then alphabetically. 31 apis in this scope clear the content bar; the top 24 are shown. A place here is not an endorsement or a paid slot.

Gisgraphy webservices
Since 2006, Gisgraphy is a free, open source framework that offers the possibility to do geolocalisation and geocoding via Java APIs or REST webservices. Because geocoding is nothing without data, it provides an easy to use importer that will automatically download and import the necessary (free) data to your local database (OpenStreetMap, Geonames and Quattroshapes: more than 100 million entries). You can also add your own data with the Web interface or the importer connectors provided. Gisgraphy is production ready, and has been designed to be scalable(load balanced), performant and used in other languages than just java : results can be output in XML, JSON, PHP, Python, Ruby, YAML, GeoRSS, and Atom. One of the most popular GPS tracking System (OpenGTS) also includes a Gisgraphy client.…

The Water Linked Underwater GPS API
API for the Water Linked Underwater GPS. For more details: http://www.waterlinked.com Recommended approach for connecting to a Underwater GPS via the API is: - If "GET /api/" times out, the Underwater GPS is not running (on this IP address) - If "GET /api/" responds with 200 OK check that the api version returrned (eg "v1") is supported by the client (eg: also supports "v1"). - If the api version returned does not match what the client supports: give an error to the user and recommend upgrading. (Eg: response is "v2" while client only supports "v1") - If "GET /api/" responds with 301 Moved permanently. "GET /api/v1/version" to check if the kit has a version earlier than 1.5. - "GET /api/v1/version" will always respond with 200 OK on Underwater GPS earlier than 1.5 release. Configuration A…

Aviation Radiation API
Our atmosphere protects us from a hostile space radiation environment comprising high energy particles of solar and intergalactic origin. Solar radiation is significant during unpredictable and short lived solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs); however, galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) is omnipresent. The GCR intensity varies with latitude, longitude, and time due to effects of solar activity on the interplanetary magnetic field, as well as the Earth's magnetic field. Space radiation collides with gases in the atmosphere, leading to a complex shower of high energy radiation, the intensity and composition of which varies spatially and temporally. Excessive exposure to radiation can damage DNA and lead to long-term health effects such as an increased risk of cancer. Resulti…

Space Radiation API
Space has a hostile radiation environment that increases the risk of cancers in humans and malfunctions in spacecraft electronics. The types of space radiation of primary concern are: Galactic Cosmic Rays from outside our solar system generated by supernovae and other phenomena; Solar Energetic Particles produced by the Sun during intense and sporadic bursts of activity; and Trapped Radiation: energetic particles confined by Earth's magnetic field, usually comprising an inner belt of mostly high energy protons and an outer belt dominated by lower energy electrons and plasma. Understanding the space radiation environment for a particular mission profile is becoming increasingly important. Commercial off-the-shelf electronic components that aren't…

Daymet Single Pixel Extraction Tool API
Welcome to the Daymet Single Pixel Extraction Tool API. You can use this API to download daily surface data within the Daymet database in a csv or json format for a single point. This API allows users to query a single geographic point by latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. A routine is executed that translates the (lon, lat) coordinates into projected Daymet (x,y) Lambert Conformal Coordinates. These coordinates are used to access the Daymet database of daily interpolated surface weather variables. Daily data from the nearest 1 km x 1 km Daymet grid cell are extracted from the database. If you would like to learn how to automate the download of multiple locations for the Daymet Single Pixel Extraction Tool, click here.

Gravity API
The gravitational field of the earth is non-uniform. The geoid is the shape the ocean surface would take if only gravity and the rotation of the Earth were considered. The geoid is the surface that defines zero elevation. The geoid height is the difference between an ideal reference ellipsoid and the geoid. The gravity anomaly is the difference between the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface and the value calculated assuming the reference ellipsoid. The official Earth Gravitational Model EGM2008 was developed and released to the public by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). Our EGM2008 API provides on-dem…

Miataru
The Miataru API is very simple and straight forward. Generally you're posting (HTTP POST) a JSON formatted request to a service method locations and you get back a JSON formatted answer. Please take into consideration that this has the request-for-comment status and that it can change while there's work done on client and server applications. Versioning therefore is done by prepending the version number - /v1/ for version 1 - to the method call.
