Find coordinates starting from name

openrouteservice directions

Hi folks, is it possible to obtain, with some ORS api call, the coordinates starting from a location name? For example to have the coordinates of the London’s S.Paul church or, simply, the coordinates of ‘Rome’?
May be this issue is related to POI API, but the coordinates should be returned, not inserted…

Hey,

this is exactly what Geocoding aims to solve, and we do offer a geocoding endpoint at /geocode. Have a look in our playground on how to use it.

Note, that this is not included if you set up openrouteservice yourself.

Best regards

Hello jschnell, thanks for the fast answer. I found the endpoint, I’m testing it.
ByeBye
