# Introduction to TPS reverse geocoding API

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-42218-1/topic/1_Introduction_to_TPS_reverse_geocoding_JSON_API.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-42218-1/topic/1_Introduction_to_TPS_reverse_geocoding_JSON_API.html)

Qualcomm® Terrestrial Positioning Service (TPS) API, formerly known as
      Skyhook Precision Location API, provides access to positioning information derived from
      analyzing positioning anchors such as Wi-Fi access points and cell IDs in known locations.

The TPS reverse geocoding (RGeo) JSON API provides access to positioning information derived from
      openly available data services and the access point density indications of metropolitan
      areas. Street level accuracy and language are dictated by available sources and inputs by
      region.

The TPS RGeo JSON API takes latitude and longitude as request parameters and returns RGeo results
      as accurate as the street number, if available.

## Scope

This document describes the implementation of the TPS RGeo JSON API to determine civic and
        address information.
