New features, new integrations, and more
Non-profit news organization ProPublica recently built a news app to bring transparency to parking ticket issuance in Chicago, and they selected Geocodio as the geocoder behind the project. They published a detailed overview of the project and how the built the application, and included why they used Geocodio. See more here.
We've created a guide to adding Congressional contact information to a list and integrating it with MailChimp. See the step-by-step guide here!
You can always see the status of our systems at status.geocod.io. We recently added additional detailed performance metrics. You can also subscribe for status-specific updates.
We now return Metropolitan Divisions when you request Census data. Along with Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Combined Statistical Areas, Metropolitan Divisions can be used to locate the nearest major city to an address and can be helpful for clustering addresses.

Zapier can be used to connect many different products with no code required. We currently have a Zapier app in testing that you can use to connect Geocodio to Salesforce, MailChimp, Google Spreadsheets, and many more apps. If you'd like to try it, please click here! It is currently in private beta and only accessible via that link.
We have a draft of an OpenAPI spec. If you are so inclined, take a look here. We are eager to hear your thoughts.
Due to several changes over at Google, we’ve decided to make Geocodio our provider for geocoding. We previously did some bulk geocoding through Geocodio and liked it well enough but didn’t want to break existing code that was working fine. Well, Google was kind enough to break our code for us. Within minutes we switched to Geocodio and our software works again!
We like that Geocodio’s service is more accurate, faster, offers more data, costs less, and has fewer restrictions than Google while presenting responses in a similar enough result format to the Google Maps geocoder that makes it easy to move over existing code. -- Thomas Hruska, Web Developer
