Graphite Data API

The data behind our products, as an API.

The Graphite Lab runs on this data every day. The first series, Geo, is open to you: one rivet per request.

Request

Series

Each series is one slice of our own data, behind one key. Geo is live. Every endpoint takes the same apiKey and spends one rivet per call.

Why ours

We built this data for our own products first. The API is the same thing we run on, opened up.

Our own data

We never call a paid geocoding API. Every answer comes from data we hold.

Our own engines

Rebuilt monthly from fresh source downloads and served by engines we run. Outside the US and Canada you get an empty result, not an error.

Built for our own products first

The Graphite Lab depends on this API every day, so it has to stay fast and correct. Geo paths and parameters follow Geoapify's, so existing code moves over with a new base URL (https://api.data.graphitelab.ai) and your Graphite key.

1 request = 1 rivet

Rivets come with your Graphite Lab plan. Every call costs one, whichever endpoint it hits, and every key draws from one balance.
