## Geocoder API
### Overview
The CartoDB Geocoder API allows you to geocode your data by converting your geospatial information into geometries in your map. This geocoding service can be used to programatically geocode datasets via the CartoDB SQL API. It is fed from Open Data and it serves geometries for countries, provinces, states, cities, postal codes and IP addresses.
