Geocodio Integration

Synopsis

Without any configuration, Member Directory will make a best attempt at geocoding a given address using the US Census dataset. This will typically give street-level accuracy, but newer addresses may not be located. It will then fall back to an ArcGIS data set that plots the address based on a postal code.

Using Geocodio dramatically improves the resolution of addresses at the expense of it being a paid API if your daily usage exceeds their daily caps (currently 2,500 requests).

Configuration

  1. Sign up for an acccount at https://geocod.io
  2. Obtain an API key for your project
  3. Add that API key as an environment variable called GEOCODIO_API_KEY
