Names and nearby features depend on available geographic data. This is a place label, not a street address.
Selected values from the documented sample response. Display and styling are illustrative; your product controls the presentation.
What the API returns
A clear answer to “Where is this?”
Choose the fields your interface needs. The response separates the readable label from the individual geographic details behind it.
Geographic context
Country, state or province, city and named neighborhood where the data supports them.
Nearby locality
A matched or nearby city, town, village or hamlet, with its place type and distance in metres.
Street context
A nearby named road and intersection, plus intersection distance, when a suitable feature is found.
Built for location-first experiences
Put the place beside the pin.
A coordinate is useful to software; a place name is useful to people. Add a readable label and location details where they help visitors decide what to explore next.
Property listings
Show a recognizable location above the area details, even when a visitor starts from a map coordinate.
Map and search results
Label map pins and result cards with the available neighborhood, city and region.
Local data experiences
Pair a location label with nearby places, demographics or community highlights from other Proximitii APIs.
Straightforward to integrate
One coordinate pair. A readable result.
Send latitude and longitude from your backend. The API infers the country for supported US and Canadian coordinates and returns structured JSON. No radius or country parameter is needed. Geographic features can be absent, so allow optional fields to be null.
