PlaceKit

Geocoding API and address autocomplete service providing a single headache-free API for autocomplete, live patching, store locator, and two-way geocoding. Designed to let developers integrate location search into web and mobile apps with minimal setup.

Built by the former Algolia Places lead engineer and powered by Algolia search technology, it offers typo-tolerant, instant responses with high relevance. Uses hand-curated OpenStreetMap data combined with country-specific datasets, with regular updates for accurate coverage. Supports 246 countries, multilanguage search, and is GDPR compliant with no vendor lock-in.

Key features:

• Typo-tolerant autocomplete with result highlighting and device geolocation for improved relevance
• Zero-dependency JavaScript client for front-end and back-end, plus standalone Autocomplete JS and React components
• Live patching to add or fix addresses and make them instantly available
• Store locator with unlimited points of interest and free-form metadata
• REST API for geocoding and reverse geocoding, integrates with any map provider

Ideal for checkout flows and sign-up forms requiring address capture, store or branch locators, and delivery or logistics apps. Works with vanilla JS, React, Vue, Svelte, Node.js, and common autocomplete libraries like Algolia Autocomplete and HeadlessUI.
