Good morning.
In this first post, I want to introduce Feroeg, a free service of reverse geocoding.
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) to a human-readable address or place name.

So, if you think that your company, or yourself, can benefit from this kind of service, please give it a try visiting my web site, www.feroeg.com.

The data are taken from OpenStreetMap.

The search engine is 'lite' also because the search can't resolve address coordinates at street level. The GitHub repository contains the source code (C++) of the search server and all the data needed to run the ...

From now the Feroeg reverse geocoding service is available from the RapidAPI Hub located at https://rapidapi.com/hub . RapidAPI is a web hub allowing businesses to connect disparate API gateways, publish APIs deployed across multiple environments, and more. The service is offered free of charge. It's not requested to give credits to Feroeg.com. The user can query at maximum 50000 requests per day. The rate limit is 60 queries/minute. The advanced batch geocode feature will not be available using the API from RapidAPI but is accessible querying directly at our website.    We think that the web visibility of the www.feroeg.com site will be improved in the next months.
