GeoLabel is an API service designed to provide contextual information for automations by converting GPS coordinates into place names and stable categories such as gym, grocery, gas_station, or restaurant. Built on OpenStreetMap data, it enables automations in Apple Shortcuts, Python scripts, and various apps to act based on the type of location detected, rather than just specific venues. This approach allows users to create routines that trigger actions whenever they enter a place of a certain category, such as switching to workout mode at any gym or opening a grocery list at any grocery store worldwide.
The service operates through a single HTTP GET endpoint, requiring only latitude, longitude, and an API key. In response, it returns details including the place name, label, category, distance in meters, whether the place is open, and closing time. GeoLabel does not require SDK installation or account creation for basic use, making integration straightforward for developers and automation enthusiasts. Code samples are provided for cURL, Python, JavaScript, and Swift, demonstrating its compatibility with a range of programming environments. Additionally, GeoLabel integrates with MCP-compatible agents, such as Claude Desktop, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw, allowing these agents to retrieve contextual location data directly without manual input.
Privacy and data handling are emphasized in GeoLabel's design. The platform enforces zero retention of coordinate data: query parameters are stripped from server logs before being written to disk, and its in-memory cache is purged every 10 minutes. No movement history is stored, and all data is processed in real time and immediately discarded. GeoLabel relies exclusively on open data from OpenStreetMap, avoiding proprietary mapping services and associated licensing costs.
GeoLabel offers a free tier with no credit card required, providing up to 5 requests per minute and 100 requests per day with full API access. Users can upgrade to paid plans as needed to accommodate higher usage. The service is positioned as a context layer for automations, supporting a wide range of automation workflows across different platforms and programming tools.
GeoLabel sits in PulseGate's API design, testing & docs category. It focuses on translating raw GPS coordinates into meaningful place names and categories for use in automation workflows. GeoLabel is a B2B product aimed at automation developers and app integrators. There is a free tier. GeoLabel is available on the web, the command line, and API.
GeoLabel first shipped in 2026. Across PulseGate's embedding index, GeoLabel has few near neighbours, marking it as relatively distinct. Among its 5 catalogued features are place name lookup, category labeling, and openStreetMap integration. It exposes integrations via a public API.
