## Detailed info

## 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.
