Search
Documentation for the Search API is also available in Japanese.
The Mapbox Search API is in private beta for worldwide coverage and in public beta for Japan. Unless you are part of the private beta program, the Mapbox Search API is only available for Japanese-language queries for locations in Japan.
The Mapbox Search API can be used to provide an interactive search experience for end users, or can support stand-alone forward and reverse geocoding queries.
Try Search API queries and see the results on a map.
Try Japan Search API queries and see the results on a map of Japan.
When you are using the Mapbox Search API to do Japanese-language searches for Japanese locations, several factors can impact the quality of the results you receive, include the scripts that the Search API supports, the Japanese address data coverage, and how to format search queries.
Search API endpoints
The Search API includes six different endpoints: /suggest
, /retrieve
, /forward
, /permanent/forward
, /reverse
, and /permanent/reverse
.
Suggest
The /suggest
endpoint is used in combination with the /retrieve
endpoint to create an interactive search experience for end users. Within your application, send user searches to the /suggest
endpoint. When a user selects a result on the application UI, that gets sent to the /retrieve
endpoint. For more details, see the Retrieve a suggestion section of this documentation.
Retrieve
If the user selects one of the results from the /suggest
endpoint, that gets sent to the /retrieve
endpoint, which provides detailed information about that feature including geographic coordinates. Once a /retrieve
action is taken, the Search API returns GeoJSON with coordinate information for the selected feature or features. For more details, see the Retrieve a suggested feature section of this documentation.
Forward geocoding
The /forward
endpoint allows you to look up a single location by name and returns its geographic coordinates. For more details, see the Forward geocoding section of this documentation.
Permanent forward geocoding
The /permanent/forward
endpoint is used for use cases that require storing position data. Like the /forward
endpoint, it allows you to look up a single location by name and returns its geographic coordinates. For more details, see the Permanent forward geocoding section of this documentation.
Reverse geocoding
The /reverse
endpoint allows you to look up a single pair of coordinates and returns the geographic feature or features that exist at that location. For more details, see the Reverse geocoding section of this documentation.
Permanent reverse geocoding
The /permanent/reverse
endpoint is used for use cases that require storing position data. Like the /reverse
endpoint, it allows you to look up a single pair of coordinates and returns the geographic feature or features that exist at that location. For more details, see the Permanent reverse geocoding section of this documentation.
Administrative unit types
Various types of administrative units are available via the Search API. Any type might appear as a top-level response, as context in a top-level response, or as a filtering option using the optional types
parameter. See the following table for available administrative unit types.
Administrative unit type | Description |
---|---|
country | Generally recognized countries or, in some cases like Hong Kong, an area of quasi-national administrative status that has been given a designated country code under ISO 3166-1. |
region | Top-level sub-national administrative features, such as states in the United States or provinces in Canada or China. |
postcode | Postal codes used in country-specific national addressing systems. |
district | Features that are smaller than top-level administrative features but typically larger than cities, in countries that use such an additional layer in postal addressing (for example, prefectures in China). |
place | Typically these are cities, villages, municipalities, etc. They’re usually features used in postal addressing, and are suitable for display in ambient end-user applications where current-location context is needed (for example, in weather displays). |
city | Japanese administrative unit analogous to place . |
locality | Official sub-city features present in countries where such an additional administrative layer is used in postal addressing, or where such features are commonly referred to in local parlance. Examples include city districts in Brazil and Chile and arrondissements in France. |
neighborhood | Colloquial sub-city features often referred to in local parlance. Unlike locality features, these typically lack official status and may lack universally agreed-upon boundaries. Not available for reverse geocoding requests. |
street | The street, with no house number. |
address | Individual residential or business addresses as a street with house number. In a Japanese context, this is the block number and the house number. All components smaller than chome are designated as an address . |
Unit types available specifically for Japan
Administrative unit type | Description |
---|---|
prefecture | Japanese administrative unit analogous to region . |
city | Japanese administrative unit analogous to place . |
oaza | Japanese administrative unit analogous to locality . |
chome | Japanese administrative unit analogous to neighborhood . Not available for reverse geocoding requests. |
block | The block number. |
address | Individual residential or business addresses as a street with house number. In a Japanese context, this is the block number and the house number. All components smaller than chome are designated as an address . |
Retrieve a suggestion
Retrieve a suggestion. This endpoint provides place predictions about what an end user is searching for, based on autocomplete of the user query. This endpoint, along with the retrieve
endpoint, can be used to add autocomplete functionality to applications that include geographic searches.
Point of interest (POI) Search is only available to customers in private beta mode. This includes named buildings, local stores, and areas of interest such as public parks.
Required parameters | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
access_token | string | A Mapbox access token with default permissions. |
session_token | string | A customer-provided session token value, which groups a series of requests together for billing purposes. UUIDv4 is recommended. For more information on how session_token is used to group Search API calls into one session, see the Session-based pricing section of this documentation. |
search_text | string | The user's query string. The query string is limited to 120 characters. |
language | string | The ISO language code to be returned. |
country | string | An ISO 3166 alpha 2 country code. |
You can further refine the results of a query to this endpoint with the following optional parameters:
Optional parameters | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bbox | number | Limit results to only those contained within the supplied bounding box. Bounding boxes should be supplied as four numbers separated by commas, in minimum longitude ,minimum latitude ,maximum longitude ,maximum latitude order. The bounding box cannot cross the 180th meridian. |
limit | integer | The number of results to return, up to 10. |
navigation_profile | string | The navigation routing profile to use. Available profiles are: driving , walking , and cycling . navigation_profile and origin are required for distance calculations. |
origin | number | The location from which to calculate distance, provided as two comma-separated coordinates in longitude,latitude order. When both proximity and origin are provided, origin is interpreted as the target of a route, while proximity indicates the current user location. This parameter is required for distance-to-target estimates, but may incur additional latency. |
proximity | number | Bias the response to favor results that are closer to this location, provided as two comma-separated coordinates in longitude,latitude order. When both proximity and origin are provided, origin is interpreted as the target of a route, while proximity indicates the current user location. |
eta_type | string | Used to estimate the time of arrival from the location specified in origin . The only allowed value for this parameter is navigation . This parameter, along with origin and navigation_profile , is required for ETA calculations. ETA calculations will incur additional latency. |
types | string | Limit results to one or more types of features, provided as a comma-separated list. Pass one or more of the type names as a comma separated list. If no types are specified, all possible types may be returned. Available types are: country , region , prefecture , postcode , district , place , city , locality , oaza , neighborhood , chome , block , street , and address . See the Administrative unit types section for details about these types. |

Response: Retrieve a suggestion
The response to a request to the /suggest
endpoint is an array of JSON suggestion objects. A suggestion will include a result name, a short description, and additional metadata when available (such as distance to proximity point). It does not include geographic coordinates. To get coordinates, make a call to the /retrieve
endpoint with the information provided in the /suggest
result's "action"
block. The "action"
block is opaque and can be used without inspection in your application.
Using the limit
parameter, you can increase the maximum number of results up to 10. Pagination is not available, but this feature may be added in a later release. There is not an option to customize the order of search results.
Each result object contains the following properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
attribution | string | The attribution data for results. |
version | string | The service version information. Include this information if you report an issue to Mapbox. |

Search API restrictions and limits
- The default rate limit for the Mapbox Search API is 600 requests per minute. If you require a higher rate limit, contact Mapbox Sales.
- Calls to the Search API's
/suggest
and/retrieve
endpoints must include asession_token
parameter. Each API call in a search session counts individually against the rate limit. For example, 10 sequential calls to/suggest
with the samesession_token
and one call to/retrieve
are 11 requests per the rate limit, but are billed as belonging to a single session. See more about how the Search API is billed in the Session-based pricing section of this documentation.
Search API pricing
Usage of the Search API is billed either by search session or by API call, depending on the Search API endpoints that you use. During the beta phase's limited release in Japan, details about the number of requests included in the free tier and the cost per request beyond what is included in the free tier are available on the Japanese-language pricing page.
Session-based pricing
The Search API's /suggest
and /retrieve
endpoints must include a session_token
parameter. The session_token
parameter is used to group a series of requests together into one session for billing purposes.
A session ends after the following actions:
- A call is made to
/suggest
followed by a call to/retrieve
with a commonsession_token
. - 50 successive calls are made to
/suggest
with a commonsession_token
but are not followed by a call to/retrieve
. - A call is made to
/suggest
and 60 minutes pass without being followed by a call to/retrieve
.
For more specific details on session pricing, contact Mapbox sales.
Per-call pricing
Calls to the Search API's /forward
, /permanent/forward
, /reverse
, and /permanent/reverse
endpoints are billed by API calls. For more details on how calls to these endpoints are billed, see the Japanese-language pricing page.
