Geoapify

These are the Geoapify actions available to the apps you build with Snow. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

• Address Autocomplete

  Tool to fetch address suggestions based on partial input. Use when you need to get predictive suggestions from incomplete address text.

• Batch Requests

  Create or retrieve asynchronous batch processing jobs for geocoding, reverse geocoding, routing, or isoline APIs. Use cases: - Batch geocode up to 1000 addresses at once (forward geocoding) - Batch reverse geocode multiple coordinates - Process multiple routing or isoline requests in one batch Workflow: 1. Create a job by providing 'api' and 'inputs' (returns job ID and status 'pending') 2. Poll the job by providing 'id' until status changes from 'pending' to complete (results available)

• Create Batch Forward Geocode Job

  Tool to create a batch forward geocoding job for up to 1000 addresses. Use when you need to geocode multiple addresses asynchronously. Returns a job ID for retrieving results once processing is complete.

• Create Batch Reverse Geocode Job

  Tool to create a batch reverse geocoding job that converts multiple lat/lon coordinates into addresses asynchronously. Use when you need to reverse geocode multiple coordinates (up to 1000) in one request. Returns a job ID for retrieving results.

• Create Marker Icon

  Generate custom map marker icons as PNG images. Creates customizable marker icons for use in mapping applications (Leaflet, MapLibre GL, Google Maps, etc.). Supports multiple styles (material, circle, plain), custom colors, icons from Material Design and Font Awesome libraries, or custom text/numbers. Example use cases: - Create a red location pin with a star icon - Generate numbered markers (1, 2, 3...) for route waypoints - Create custom-colored markers matching your brand

• Fetch Geoapify Map Tiles

  Tool to fetch raster map tiles or style JSON from Geoapify. Use when rendering custom maps with specific styles.

• Forward Geocoding

  Tool to convert an address into geographic coordinates. Use when you need latitude and longitude from an address.

• Generate isoline (isochrone/isodistance)

  Tool to generate isochrone or isodistance isolines. Use when visualizing reachable areas from a point; use `id` to poll ongoing calculations.

• Generate Static Map Image

  Tool to generate static map images with customizable style, size, center, zoom, markers, and geometries. Use when you need a map image for display or printing.

• Geometry Operation

  Tool to perform geometric operations on stored polygon geometries. Use when combining or intersecting multiple stored geometries.

• Get Batch Forward Geocode Results

  Tool to retrieve batch forward geocoding job results using the job ID. Use when you need to fetch geocoded addresses from a previously submitted batch job. Results available in JSON or CSV format. Job must be complete (status 200) to get results.

• Get Batch Reverse Geocode Results

  Tool to retrieve batch reverse geocoding job results. Use when you have a batch job ID from creating a batch reverse geocoding job and want to fetch the completed results.

• Get Boundaries Containing Location

  Retrieve all administrative boundaries that contain a given location. Returns hierarchical boundaries (suburb, city, county, state, country) as GeoJSON features. Use this to find what administrative areas a coordinate belongs to, get boundary polygons for mapping, or identify postal codes and political districts for a location.

• Get Child Boundaries (Consists Of)

  Get boundaries that a specified location consists of. Returns child administrative divisions (states for country, districts for city). Useful for drilling down into sub-regions.

• Get Map Style JSON

  Tool to retrieve vector map style JSON for MapLibre GL and Mapbox GL. Returns a Mapbox-compatible style specification for rendering vector tiles.

• IP Geolocation

  Lookup geographic location information for an IP address. Returns city-level location data including country, region, city, coordinates, and additional metadata like currency and language. If no IP is provided, returns location for the caller's IP address.

• List Postcodes

  Tool to list postcodes within a specified area or boundary. Use when you need to retrieve multiple postcodes in a geographic region using filters like circle, rectangle, or place ID.

• Map Matching

  Snap GPS traces to the road network for accurate route reconstruction. Use this tool to: - Correct GPS drift and inaccuracies in recorded tracks - Align vehicle/cycling/walking traces to actual roads - Get road names and properties along the matched route - Calculate accurate distance and travel time from GPS data

• Place Details

  Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific place. Use when you have a place ID or coordinates and need comprehensive metadata.

• Places Search

  Search for points of interest (POIs) like restaurants, hotels, attractions, hospitals, etc. within a geographic area. Use this tool when you need to find places by category near a location. You must provide either a 'filter' (to search within a bounded area) or 'bias' (to rank results by proximity to a point). Common use cases: - Find restaurants near a location: categories=

• Postcode Search

  Tool to retrieve postcode information for a location. Use when you need to fetch postcode details based on a given postcode or geographic coordinates.

• Reverse Geocoding

  Tool to reverse geocode coordinates into a structured address. Use when converting lat/lon to human-readable addresses.

• Route Matrix

  Tool to compute travel time and distance matrices. Use when you need durations and distances between multiple origin and destination pairs.

• Route Planner

  Optimize multi-agent routes for deliveries, pickups, and service jobs. Solves Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) including: Travelling Salesman (TSP), Capacitated VRP, VRP with Time Windows, and Pickup-Delivery problems. Required: Either 'jobs' (one-way tasks) or 'shipments' (pickup-delivery pairs). Coordinates: Use

• Routing

  Tool to calculate routes between multiple waypoints. Use when you need both distance, time, and turn-by-turn directions for two or more coordinates.
