Cool project. Like others have said, not particularly convinced that it's cheaper than Google's enterprise geocoding, but I'm more than glad to see the competition.

I wrote you guys a Ruby client: https://github.com/davidcelis/geocodio

The code's maybe a bit rough, but it's worked in my limited usage. Maybe you can take it for a test run before I push version 1.0.0 to RubyGems?

Thanks! This looks great! Would you mind if we possibly mentioned this in our documentation?

As for the pricing, we are indeed much cheaper than Google's geocoding offerings (given the nature of our product). If you are looking to do a high amount of geocoding requests, just contact us[1] and we'll work out a pricing model for you.

Definitely feel free to mention it in the docs! Thanks again for an awesome new alternative.

Version 1.0.0 is on RubyGems now, by the way!
