Geocode.XYZ
Geocode and Geoparse Places to X, Y, and Z - worldwide
I wanted to scan books for locations so I could build a worldwide map of literature. There was no API suitable for this task, so I built my own. Turns out, a lot of others had a similar need.

Geocode - An open location code
Geocode is a simple location code mapping latitude,longitude to a single alphanumeric string composed of two parts: 1) A single word related to the most prominent location name in the vicinity, 2) An alphanumeric string no longer than 5 characters, defining the location with a 10 meter resolution.
For Example: https://geocode.xyz/BERLIN-XYZ1 is a location in Berlin, Germany.
The Geocode can be easily computed for any location in the world. There is also a map based interface to visually find the geocodes of locations here: geocode.xyz/g
For more information about geo-location codes and a comparison to similar systems, see https://github.com/eruci/geocode .

Google just announced they are going to increase their geocoding API pricing by 10x on June 11th 2018.
It seems like the big players are getting ready reap the benefits of their quasi monopolistic position in certain API's.
We are keeping our pricing the same. Here is a price comparison chart. https://geocode.xyz/pricing
