How to create a "Geocode (stored)" key?

AlexanderAvtanski — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:29:53 GMT

I'm trying to use the `geocodeAddresses` API from a Python application. To the best of my understanding, this requires a "Geocode (stored)" API key.

When creating the key in the Developer credentials panel I see only the "Geocode (not stored)" option. How can I create a key with "Geocode (stored)" enabled?

I've been trying to figure this out for several hours now, so any help is welcome.

You should be able to store the results of a geocode operation using the Geocoding privilege. I think we used to have a "stored" and a "not stored" option there, but it looks updated now. Do you specifically see "not stored", or do you see what I see in the attached screenshot?

It may also depend on your account subscription type. If you are using ArcGIS Location Platform then you will need to enable Pay as you Go because geocode (stored) does not have a free tier. If you are using an ArcGIS Online subscription then it may be possible your admin set your account geocoding service or credit budget and you need to check with your admin.
