They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Address Parser & Geocoder API Efficiently transform unstructured addresses into structured data and precise geographic coordinates with our Address Parser & Geocoder API. Leveraging the power of [libpostal](https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal) for address parsing and our advanced embedding database for geocoding, this API ensures high accuracy and performance for your applications. ### Key Features - **Comprehensive Address Parsing**: Utilizes libpostal to dissect and interpret addresses from around the globe, recognizing various formats and components. - **Accurate Geocoding**: Maps parsed addresses to exact latitude and longitude coordinates using our sophisticated embedding database. - **Support for Diverse Address Components**: Identifies and processes a wide range of address elements, including: - `house_number` - `road` - `city` - `postcode` - `country` - and more. - **Flexible Integration**: Designed for seamless incorporation into various applications, enhancing functionalities like location-based services, logistics, and data analysis. ### API Response Structure This address ```text 33 Nine Elms Ln, Nine Elms, London SW11 7US, United Kingdom ``` The API returns parsed address components along with geocoded coordinates in the following structure: ```json { "house_number": "33", "road": "nine elms ln", "suburb": "nine elms", "city": "london", "postcode": "sw11 7us", "country": "united kingdom", "lng": -0.12574, "lat": 51.50853 } ``` *Note: The actual fields returned may vary based on the input address and the components identified, we will always add lat/lng* ### Getting Started 2. **Integrate the API**: Use our detailed documentation to incorporate the API into your application, enabling address parsing and geocoding functionalities. 3. **Make Requests**: Send addresses to the API endpoint and receive structured data with geographic coordinates in response. ### Use Cases - **E-commerce Platforms**: Enhance delivery accuracy by validating and geocoding customer addresses. - **Logistics and Transportation**: Optimize routing and fleet management with precise geolocation data. - **Geospatial Analysis**: Convert address data into mappable coordinates for spatial data analysis. ### Why Choose Our API? - **High Accuracy**: Combines the robustness of libpostal with our advanced geocoding techniques to deliver precise results. - **Scalability**: Capable of handling large volumes of requests, suitable for both small applications and enterprise solutions. - **Developer-Friendly**: Comprehensive documentation and support to assist in seamless integration. # Actor input Schema ## `address` (type: `string`): The address to parse and geocode ## Actor input object example ```json { "address": "33 Nine Elms Ln, Nine Elms, London SW11 7US, United Kingdom" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "address": "33 Nine Elms Ln, Nine Elms, London SW11 7US, United Kingdom" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dealgate/address-parser-geocoder").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "address": "33 Nine Elms Ln, Nine Elms, London SW11 7US, United Kingdom" }' | apify call dealgate/address-parser-geocoder --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dealgate/address-parser-geocoder" } } } ``` The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/iZhHuateSBUSJxZde/builds/IlukRMS4FGOiuOyF8/openapi.json
