# Geocode

> Geocoding and reverse-geocoding APIs for international locations, with additional data from the Postzon database for UK addresses. We also provide distance-finding and direction-based services.

Geocode consists of a range of API endpoints split across four groupings:

* **Distance and Directions:** returning the distance or directions between two or more points
* **Geocoding:** returning locations based on specific coordinates
* **GovernmentData:** returning Postzon records for specific coordinates, postcodes or places
* **Store Finder:** retrieving the names or coordinates of specific places
