Airtel IP vs TomTom
If you need a Geocoding API that's easy to integrate, go with TomTom.
Airtel IP
- No authentication required
- HTTPS supported
- Currently flagged as inactive
TomTom
- Simple API key authentication
- HTTPS supported
- CORS enabled for frontend use
| Feature | Airtel IP | TomTom |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | None | apiKey |
| HTTPS | Yes | Yes |
| CORS | Unknown | Yes |
When to use which?
Airtel IP is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. TomTom works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps.
