The purpose of this second endpoint, Reverse Geocode, is to return information about the address from its coordinates.

• List of parameters
• Example 1 – Search for an address based on a coordinate
• Example 2 – Search for an address based on more than one coordinate

To make the request for Reverse Geocode, you must send the request using the POST method to the following endpoint:

• https://api.maplink.global/geocode/v2/reverse – POST 

Note: Currently returning only to directions located in Brazil.

The Reverse API has been updated to V2. The endpoint https://api.maplink.global/geocode/v1/reverse will still work, but it is recommended to use the new endpoint for more accurate results and because new features will be exclusive to the new version.

List of parameters

Mandatory parameters

• lat – Latitude;
• lon – Longitude.

Optional parameters

• id – Text with the identifier of the address searched;
• distance – Maximum distance in meters for the address search. The default value is 2,000 (2 km) and the maximum value is up to 100,000 (100 km)

Note: There is a limit of 200 points for sending in a single request.

Example 1 – Search for an address based on a coordinate

Example 2 – Search for an address based on more than one coordinate

In this example, we will search for results for two different coordinates. To do this, we need to identify them with the parameter id. The first point will be "L1" and the second "L2".

The point "L1" should return results within a radius of 500 meters. For this, we use the parameter distance.
