# Combined forward + reverse geocoding

`GET /api/v1/geocode`

Unified entrypoint that auto-routes to forward or reverse:

* `?q=…` (with optional `lat,lon` for proximity bias) → forward search.
* `?lat=&lon=` only → reverse geocode.

Internally calls the same orchestrators as `/api/v1/search` and `/api/v1/reverse`.

## Query parameters

- `q` string
- `lat` number, double
- `lon` number, double
- `limit` integer
- `lang` string

## Response `200`
