This does not provide geoparsing - that is extracting, disambiguating and geocoding geo-location mentions on the text (as shown in the example above). In fact, I don't know of any service that does. That's why I built this.

Just because you can't read it, is not a good reason to hate it. But, as Larry says, "It is better to be hated by those who don't know you, than by those who do"

I had a 100EUR per month subscription deal on geocode.xyz and someone was dubious as to "why it was so cheap". Doubled it to 200EUR per month and everybody is happy now.

There is more than one way to look at it. I've been coding in Perl for 20 years, I'm a CPAN author [1] and I just published my third CPAN contribution yesterday. I've written over half a million Perl lines of currently in use
