Geocoding
API Information
Best for:
- •Cleaning and standardizing address data for consistency
- •Converting addresses into geographic coordinates
- •Reverse geocoding coordinates into structured addresses
- •Processing large volumes of addresses through batch geocoding
- •Connecting address records to LightBox property intelligence
Overview
The LightBox Geocoding API transforms addresses and geographic coordinates into standardized, validated, and actionable location intelligence. The API is designed to resolve common address data challenges, including incomplete addresses, inconsistent formatting, and variations in address representation, using advanced matching and normalization capabilities. Forward geocoding converts addresses into geographic coordinates, while reverse geocoding identifies structured address information from coordinates. Match confidence and precision information help users evaluate the quality of each result. Geocoding results can also include LightBox IDs that connect locations to related property, parcel, assessment, and structure data, providing a foundation for enriching customer data with LightBox property intelligence.
