Placekey – An ID for Every Place

Hi, HN, I'm Roshan and I'm part of the team that's launching the Placekey today at https://placekey.io. It is a free and open universal standard identifier we built so that data pertaining to places can be shared across organizations easily. A Placekey is a short identifier that has Address and POI sections detailing What is at a place and a section describing Where on the globe the place is. Eventually, there will be a Placekey for every place in the world, even those without postal addresses. US geospatial data from a large array of partners…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, HN, I'm Roshan and I'm part of the team that's launching the Placekey today at https://placekey.io. It is a free and open universal standard identifier we built so that data pertaining to places can be shared across organizations easily. A Placekey is a short identifier that has Address and POI sections detailing What is at a place and a section describing Where on the globe the place is. Eventually, there will be a Placekey for every place in the world, even those without postal addresses. US geospatial data from a large array of partners https://www.placekey.io/partners can already be associated and cross-referenced using Placekey. By allowing every place to be represented by a canonical string, data scientists and researchers can easily join datasets and share geospatial information with each other. Generating a Placekey will always be free, whether you do so using https://placekey.io or the API available at https://dev.placekey.io. And storing a Placekey is permitted for any reason, whether you want to cache it, use it to exchange information with someone else, or to fulfill any other purpose you can think of. Finally, any requests you make to the Placekey API are completely private. They will be used to improve Placekey's matching and resolution, but will never be shared with or sold to third parties. Some more details are in our: * FAQ - https://placekey.io/faq * API Documentation - https://docs.placekey.io/ Try generating one at https://placekey.io/ No signup required. Let us know your thoughts!
