Telegram bot

  • @geoinferbot: send a photo in Telegram and get ranked locations with GPS coordinates and Google Maps links. Guide.
  • One balance everywhere: connect the chat to your GeoInfer account from Settings, Telegram, and your plan and credits work on the website, the API and Telegram.
  • Buy in chat: /buy opens a Stripe checkout for 50 credits at $4.99, and the bot confirms when they are added.

Global model v4.1

  • New default global model: accuracy improvements over the previous generation. model_id is optional: omit it and your request routes to the current default global model.
  • Retired model ids now return 422: a request naming a model we no longer serve gets a 422 identifying the model, instead of a server error. Call GET /v1/prediction/models for the ids currently available, and prefer reading the id from there over hardcoding one.
  • Model serving status: GET /v1/prediction/models now returns a status field (ready, down, or unknown) per model.

Pricing moved to USD

  • USD catalog: subscriptions and top-ups are now priced in USD. Existing EUR subscriptions continue to bill unchanged.
  • Starter Pack: a $4.99 entry top-up covering 50 image lookups.

Python SDK, Chrome extension, Maltego & GeoGuessr

  • Python SDK: pip install geoinfer. Sync and async clients, handles file paths, URLs, raw bytes, and file objects. Full error types and rate-limit metadata on every response.
  • Chrome extension: right-click any image on the web to get a location prediction. Also works from the toolbar popup with paste-URL or drag-and-drop. Install from Chrome Web Store.
  • Maltego transform: geolocate image URLs directly inside Maltego Desktop. Import the seed URL and your API key to get started. Setup guide.
  • GeoGuessr widget: press ⌘ Shift G (Mac) or Ctrl Shift G (Windows) during a round to get predicted coordinates and a mini map without leaving the game. Setup guide.

API v1 launch

  • Image geolocation: POST /v1/prediction/predict accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and more (up to 10 MB). Returns predicted coordinates, confidence radius, and location name.
  • Model selection: GET /v1/prediction/models lists the models available to your API key. Pass model_id on each prediction request to choose between global and high-accuracy regional models.
  • Credit balance: GET /v1/credits/summary returns your subscription allowance and top-up balance. Credits consumed are also reported on every prediction response.
  • Authentication: all requests use the X-GeoInfer-Key header with a geo_... key. Generate keys at app.geoinfer.com/en/api.
  • Global model (global_v0_1): 1 credit per prediction, works on images from anywhere in the world.
