Geocoding for Academia
Geocodio is used by academics and students at thousands of schools and universities to easily work with address data and append additional information.
For teaching
Geocodio gives every user 2,500 free lookups per day, making it an easy tool for professors and teachers to use to teach their students GIS and location data analysis. No credit card or special arrangement is required — you can simply have your students sign up on our website.
For research
Geocodio can support high volumes of requests. You can upload spreadsheets up to 1 GB, with no daily processing limit. With our API, you can run multiple batches of 10,000 lookups in parallel. Our Geocodio Unlimited plan can handle up to 4.8M lookups per day for a flat, no-commitment monthly rate.
Academics and students are eligible for an additional 5% discount on all plans. Just mention to us that you're an academia and provide your official email address and we'll add it to your account. We simply ask that you mention Geocodio in any work you create using the service.
I prefer the Geocodio service over others because of its intuitive interface, clear instructions/documentation, accuracy, and price. This is a tool that anyone can use, not just data scientists or GIS experts. Geocodio is my go-to resource for geocoding small or large amounts of data.
