About Mapbase
What is Mapbase?
Mapbase is a geographic data and location search API that provides canonical administrative hierarchies down to neighborhoods and parishes.
What Mapbase does
The API classifies inventory, stores, and assets against a single administrative hierarchy using stable IDs. It links custom sales or delivery zones to official jurisdictions, joins Eurostat postcodes to location entities, outputs Place and Breadcrumb JSON-LD for programmatic SEO, and exposes endpoints for location autocomplete, boundary queries, and reverse geocoding.
Who Mapbase is for
Developers, platforms, and marketplaces building location search, delivery zones, and programmatic directory pages.
How Mapbase works
Developers query Mapbase endpoints using an API key, search and resolve locations against canonical hierarchies, tag inventory with stable IDs, and output breadcrumbs, meta, and JSON-LD.
