AfriHex API

AfriHex is a developer platform for digital addressing in Africa. It turns any location into a precise, human-readable hex code (e.g. AF-GH-7-A3K9) using Uber's H3 grid, and layers on geocoding, banking KYC, location monitoring, and routing - starting with Ghana.

This reference covers every endpoint, grouped by use case:

  • Addresses & Geocoding - GPS code lookup, reverse geocoding, place search, validation, bulk operations
  • Hex Addressing - encode/decode hex codes, grid navigation, map tiles
  • Identity & KYC - address verification, proximity verification, certificates, proof of delivery
  • Collections & Service Areas - loan collection zones, merchant coverage areas
  • Location Monitoring - consent, pings, drift detection, geofences, webhooks
  • Risk & Fraud - fraud detection, portfolio risk, AML/PEP screening
  • Routing & Navigation - turn-by-turn routing, matrices, isochrones, landmarks
  • Account & Billing - API keys, usage, platform health

All /v2/* endpoints require an API key via the X-API-Key header. Follow the quickstart to get started in under five minutes.
