Yet another geocoder you say, well yes, but the Placekey service does offer some enrichment.

Placekeys encode both what is at a location plus where it is in a resolution 10 H3 cell.

If you include a location name (aka POI name) in your query the response can include base placekey, address placekey and building placekey, all potentially different.

My understanding is this is backed by the SafeGraph Places database, so you are getting a POI validation service with the geocode.

This would be a great addition especially if in batch mode and using user API key. This was really useful early on in the State of Iowa BEAD application.
