Google reverse geocoding api without google maps

Question

I have a geonames database, but I need to get the postal code based on latitutde and longitude, geonames.org has such a service, but the data is not accurate. Google api reverse geocoding offers more accurate data on postal codes. Is it correct that the google geocoding api should be used with google maps, or can I use this google google geocoding without showing the results on the map.

If not, does anyone know of any other solutions besides the geonames postal code service to get the lat based postal code. LNG.

I want to copy and paste these zip codes into my geonames database.

I do not want to display the results on the map.

Answer 1

Yes. Pursuant to Google, API feature license restrictions are prohibited.

• I would prefer to use MapQuest Open Geocoding API Web Service , which provides both geocoding and reverse geocoding. They are licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL) .

• Address Processing , here you can find more free services.

Hope you have an idea.
