Autocomplete

Build a pleasant, fast and automatic address lookup experience for your mobile app and website in seconds.

State-of-the-art: Our autocomplete is typo-tolerant and provides relevant suggestions at each keystroke, highlighting matches and showcasing result types. Lightweight, cross-browser, and accessible by design.
Convenience and customization: Import our autocomplete package, insert your credentials. That's all it takes. Easily customize style and events, or create from scratch with our zero-dependency JavaScript client that integrates with any other autocomplete component.
Device location: Ask users to share their device location to greatly improve the relevance by suggesting places closer to them. Defaults to their IP location.

Geocoding API

A single API to cover all use-cases, with easy-to-use and quality tools for developers.

Geocoding REST API: PlaceKit is first and foremost a geocoding service. Send geocoding and reverse-geocoding requests from the front-end or the back-end to meet any of your use-cases.
Developers first: Our JavaScript libraries are well packaged with clear documentation, types, and examples, providing easy-to-use abstractions to PlaceKit services. We also provide an annotated API reference to use PlaceKit with other languages.
Data quality: We use fresh data from OpenStreetMap, supercharged with country-specific datasets when available, and meticulously sanitized to shrink it all into the most comprehensive catalog.
Live patching: Add missing addresses or fix existing ones, and make them instantly available to your users. We then review and merge them back to our global dataset, because you know best.

const placekit = require('@placekit/client-js');

const pk = placekit('<your-api-key>', {
  countries: ['fr'],
});

// Geocoding
pk.search('42 avenue Champs-Élysées Paris')
  .then(console.log);
