Does Google Geocoding API (V3) supports batch geocoding?

Question

I've read all geocode service api documentation but haven't found anything about batch geocoding. May be I miss something and there is possibility to make a batch requests?

Answer 1

No. There is no way you can batch geocode a bunch of addresses but you can use the directions api to geocode up to 8 addresses. In the business class it allows up to 24 addresses. Read about it: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions. You can also try http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-tsp-solver/.

Answer 2

Yes you can. There are different limits for a free account vs an enterprise account. There is also a limit on how fast you can send requests per second.

Well but that does not answer the question? Sending multiple requests is not the same as sending one batch request.... – Discussion
