Description

The BC Address Geocoder is a REST API that can used to resolve the physical locations of addresses and place names in British Columbia (i.e., their latitude and longitude). It also provides additional capability, such as correcting and standardizing civic and non-civic addresses, reverse geocoding addresses within areas of interest, locating intersections and identifying parcels associated with specific addresses. For more information please see the [glossary](https://github.com/bcgov/ols-geocoder/blob/gh-pages/glossary.md) and the [developer guide](https://github.com/bcgov/ols-geocoder/blob/gh-pages/geocoder-developer-guide.md). The API is governed by [these terms of use](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=D1EE0A405E584363B205CD4353E02C88), with the exception of the parcels API resource (see note below). __Note: the parcels API resource is restricted to B.C. government ministries use only.__ Ministries should [contact DataBC](https://api.gov.bc.ca/) to request an API key.
