geocode-lookup

What This Skill Does

The geocode-lookup skill provides robust geospatial capabilities for the OpenClaw AI ecosystem, allowing agents to bridge the gap between human-readable addresses and machine-readable geographic coordinates. Whether you need to find the precise latitude and longitude of a city, resolve coordinates back into a postal address, or calculate the great-circle distance between two global points using the Haversine formula, this tool manages the heavy lifting. By integrating with an external geocoding service, the skill ensures high-accuracy data retrieval with minimal latency, supporting multiple units of measurement including kilometers, miles, meters, and nautical miles.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cutthemustard/geocode-lookup

Ensure your agent has the necessary permissions for external network requests, as this skill relies on the geocode.agentutil.net API endpoints to process data.

Use Cases

• Logistics and Supply Chain: Calculating shipping distances between distribution centers and delivery sites.
• Travel Planning: Resolving location coordinates for itinerary visualization or mapping apps.
• Real Estate: Converting street addresses into precise coordinates for property database mapping.
• Data Enrichment: Normalizing messy user-input location data into structured, standardized address formats.

Example Prompts

1. "What are the coordinates for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and how far is that from the Louvre Museum in kilometers?"
2. "Reverse geocode these coordinates: -33.8688, 151.2093, and tell me the city name."
3. "Calculate the distance in miles between my current office at 10 Downing St, London and the White House in Washington, DC."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Privacy: While the service does not store logs, avoid sending highly sensitive or private residential addresses without user consent, as the data is transmitted to an external third-party API.
• Rate Limits: The free tier is limited to 10 queries per day. For production applications, utilize the paid tier via the x402 protocol using USDC on Base to avoid service disruption.
• Accuracy: Results rely on third-party mapping data. Ensure address inputs are as specific as possible to avoid ambiguous geocoding results, especially in dense urban areas. Always verify coordinates if using them for high-precision navigation.
