Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like “505 Howard St, San Francisco”) into geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude).
Required parameters:
address
- The street address that you want to geocode.

- The two-letter bias country code (ccTLD or ISO 3166-1) in which to return results.
Reverse Geocoding (ReverseGeocode)
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates(latitude/longitude) into a human-readable address (like “505 Howard St, San Francisco”).
