Launch Week: increased NUTS coverage

Hi everyone,

welcome to day two of Launch Week 2024!

Just over a year ago we launched our NUTS annotation, whereby we return NUTS codes (levels 0-3) for locations in EU member states. Today I am pleased to report that we have now expanded coverage to the EFTA countries: Iceland (IS), Liechtenstein (LI), Norway (NO), Switzerland (CH)

As an example, here is the NUTS annotation in a geocoding result in Gelterkinden, Switzerland.

        "NUTS": {
          "NUTS0": {
            "code": "CH"
          },
          "NUTS1": {
            "code": "CH0"
          },
          "NUTS2": {
            "code": "CH03"
          },
          "NUTS3": {
            "code": "CH032"
          }

Here you can see a map, (a screenshot taken from the Eurostat website) shows NUTS2 regions across Europe.

Learn more about the NUTS annotation (and all the others) in our geocoding API documentation.

For now We still don’t return NUTS codes for EU candidate countries, potential candidates, or former-EU countries. If you need those please get in touch, our progress is of course guided by customer requests.

Happy geocoding,

Ed
