Connect your code
Copy once. Rotating revokes your previous sandbox credential and keeps the same daily allowance.
Use the same request from your server
Location response
Create a key and send a request to see real, bounded Tanzania location context here. Actual observations and estimates are labelled separately.
Run an integration starter
Set LOCATIONIQ_KEY in your server environment. The examples default to the sandbox and keep credentials out of URLs and browser code.

Ready for production?
Create a scoped production key, submit the server’s fixed outbound public IP and wait for approval. Switch your example to LOCATIONIQ_ENV=production with that production key. Sandbox credentials cannot access production APIs; production credentials do not work in the sandbox.
Evaluation includes five nearest landmarks within 10 km and available location context. Bulk extraction, routing and catchment jobs require the production workflow. A shared 500-request daily network safety cap and 20-request/minute account limit also apply.
