Introduction
The Pipeline API can be used to perform reverse geocoding to obtain real-world location details such as country, city or road name from latitude and longitude information.
This service is currently only available via a cloud service rather than a local on-premise solution.
The 51Degrees cloud service exposes location data from two different providers:
- A 51Degrees-hosted solution based on the Nominatim API and backed by Open Street Map data.
- The GeoMprint product from Digital Element.
