Show HN: PlaceKit – Geocoding API and address autocomplete

We’re thrilled to announce PlaceKit, a worldwide geocoding API and toolkit! It’s the successor of Algolia Places, a discontinued product. Nico (my co-founder) and I worked at Algolia for 3 and 6 years respectively before launching PlaceKit. Unlike big competitors Google Places and Mapbox, it’s a single REST API, with a unique and transparent per-request pricing. PlaceKit combines OpenStreetMap, local datasets and the Algolia engine into a unique sub 50ms worldwide address search. We’ve made our JS libraries from scratch to make them lightweight, customizable, and compatible with any stack. We provide integration examples, and an annotated OpenAPI reference for other languages/use-cases. Give it a go at https://placekit.io https://placekit.io! We offer a free plan with 10k requests per month, including all features. Any feedback on your PlaceKit journey would be very valuable. Which use-cases would you consider using PlaceKit for?
