Reverse Geocode Requests
This endpoint converts a GPS coordinate into an address-like representation.
This geocoding service is designed to provide a GPS coordinate accurate within 3 decimal
places of precision (or roughly 100 meters). This may still be overly-specific for the
purposes of weather forecasting, but tends to provide better results when reverse geocoding
a GPS coordinate back into an address-like representation.
For more details on the capabilities and constraints of this geocoding service, see the
discussion at the
Forward Geocode resource.
Query Parameters
query
A GPS coordinate in
lat,lng format. (required)

Sample Query
GET https://api.weatherroute.io/v1/routing/geocode-reverse?query=39.526,-119.813Output
This request returns a Geocode response object.
The JSON response returned from this endpoint will contain geolocation information
relevant to the provided query. Administrative area descriptions will be provided,
where possible.
Where a query might refer to multiple different locations, a single "best guess"
will be returned as the result.
