Geocoding, autocomplete, routing, and static map tile API built on OpenStreetMap data with commercial-grade reliability. Best for applications needing geocoding with autocomplete suggestions and basic routing without Google Maps pricing. Bridges the gap between free Nominatim (rate-limited public instance) and premium Google Maps (broadest features, highest cost). 1 example endpoint available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the LocationIQ API docs for full documentation.
