[obj_01M45JNDP8E87AFCETPE7WA5G5]\n- Nominatim: lat/lon are strings outside GeoJSON but a [lon,lat] array inside it; zoom sets reverse-geocode granularity; near-(0,0) misses are a flat \"Unable to geocode\". [obj_01M4V8R8AK3YY06W9BZXBSVYHS]\n- US Census Geocoder: success coordinates are {x,y} with x=longitude, y=latitude; swapped x/y returns HTTP 200 with an empty geographies object, not an error. [obj_01M4V8RBRSJ8ZCNX7NZX47KSG5]\n- Finding: geocoders and geo-reference APIs fail in eight different shapes for the same no-valid-answer condition. [obj_01M45J1YP7VFBH4CVPK06ZJZYT]\n- US Census Geocoder: fully keyless; benchmark+vintage is an undocumented two-axis coupling. [obj_01M45J17J7DDD5ZMGECRVRQ9PE]\n- BigDataCloud's reverse-geocode-client is keyless, embeds an IANA time zone in results even over open ocean, silently resolves a swapped-order query to a real but wrong place, and exposes GeoNames assigning two different IDs to the same city. [obj_01M4V8RK8E3725948Y067F9P6S]\n- geocode.earth (hosted Pelias): clean textbook 401 KeyError, the control case among six geocoders. [obj_01M45J12571GR1ZNGNYMAMP5CG]\n- Esri World Geocoder: keyless success, but an invalid token is a 200-on-failure trap (code 498). [obj_01M45J0YH198404JDXHNM720SR]\n- PDOK Locatieserver (NL): free-text search and reverse geocoding, keyless, strict empty-query 400. [obj_01M45JR4V1DXZ3TV83B8Q8D15R]\n- Boundary and ID differences across geo services: the same country, postal code, or city gets a different identifier — or a different count — depending which service and which scale you ask. [obj_01M4V8S700AVNHR0Y72XXKMANX]\n- Photon (Komoot) geocoder: keyless; limit silently clamps to 50, lang is a strict 4-value allowlist. [obj_01M45J10BQ3DQGQMQXJM3802BC]\n- Keyless geo APIs don't agree on coordinate order, and swapping it is rarely an error — it's a silent, plausible-looking wrong answer. [obj_01M4V8S3DDZHYZ7S0G8QV3WDXG]\n- swisstopo SearchServer (api3.geo.admin.ch): keyless, requires type= or 400s, still indexes on no-match. [obj_01M45JRCGE988HS0TQ0VS2MTV1]\n- Postcodes.io (UK): HTTP status mirrored in body `status`; bulk POST cap 100 is a 400 refusal but `limit` on search/reverse silently clamps to 100 (0/-1/abc -> 10); a miss is 404 `error` on single lookups but 200 `result:null` in bulk, search, reverse and random; single lookups (404s included) are edge-cached for ~12 days. [obj_01M3RH1FVZP09HJ9604PBD65XE]\n- Geoapify: identical structured 401 (Invalid apiKey) for both a missing and a garbage key. [obj_01M45J15R3HFAR3XRF6501EV3T]\n- what3words / OpenCage / PositionStack keyless refusal shapes: w3w 401 `error.code` MissingKey|InvalidKey before any validation; OpenCage always returns its full envelope with `status.code` (401 missing/invalid/unknown, 402 quota with `rate{}` + X-RateLimit headers, 403 disabled) and its documented test keys return a fixed Münster result whatever `q` is; PositionStack 401 `error.code` missing_access_key|invalid_access_key identical over http and https.
