We’ve been offering SOAP-based web services for several months, but only just now realized that only UMI staff and our first customer know of the API’s existence. It’s exciting for us to offer this service (actually, several services) so smaller organizations can tap into Urban Mapping’s geo-platform without paying enterprise-level fees. We offer a broad range of methods and have modularized design, anticipating future needs.

Users can geocode to neighborhood by long/lat, postal code and use a variety of other useful methods when granularity/precision matters.

So what does this mean for you? For starters, you can enjoy our wonderfully-designed and easy-to-use documentation, but it gets better. We also offer a technical demo with code snippets (in PHP, Ruby and XML) that will bring you joy. Learning to use our services for geocoding by long/lat, postal code and other methods is now within reach!

If you are interested in learning more, play for yourself or let us know.
