README

Temporary home for our OS Places PHP Geocoder provider.

PHP Geocoder plugin for the Ordnance Survey Places API. Looks up addresses based on the given street address or postcode. Resultant addresses include both Easting and Northing as well as latitude and longitude as location coordinates. The values of Easting and Northing are in the All numeric grid reference format.

Search results can be filtered for a single local authority based on its Local custodian code.

This Geocoder requires an API key.
