description: Placekey is a free, universal identifier for any physical place, designed
  to make it easy to join and match address and point-of-interest data across disparate
  datasets. The Placekey API resolves an address or latitude/longitude into a single
  Placekey, supporting both single and bulk (up to 100 per batch) lookups for address
  matching, deduplication, and data enrichment.
