OpenCage Geocoding API / request a GeoJSON geocoding response

OpenCage tool opencage-geojson on looot: input fields, $0.000167 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Forward or reverse geocoding with OpenCage, answered as GeoJSON: send an address or place name for coordinates, or ‘lat,lng’ for an address. Same billed API and price as the JSON route.

Tool id: opencage-geojson
Provider: OpenCage
Job: Turn coordinates into an address (maps.geocode.reverse)
Price: $0.000167 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

`add_request`	boolean	no
`address_only`	boolean	no

`countrycode`	string	no	Example: “de”
`language`	string	no	the preferred language of results. Example: “de”

`no_annotations`	boolean	no
`no_dedupe`	boolean	no
`no_record`	boolean	no
`pretty`	boolean	no
`proximity`	string	no	Latitude and longitude decimal coordinates to bias results toward. Example: “52.3877830, 9.7334394”
`q`	string	yes	Location to geocode - can be an address, place name, or decimal coordinates in latitude, longitude order. Example: “52.5432379, 13.4142133”
`roadinfo`	boolean	no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect opencage-geojson prints its fields.

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:maps.geocode.reverse as endpointId; see the job page.
