Some of the functions of the geoAPI use rest services. They can also be used in an independant way, give a valider refering URL.

Some of those REST services are described here

Geocoding can be done using the following URL:

 //apiv3.geoportail.lu/geocode/search

Parameters:

• num: House number
• street: Street name
• locality: Locality
• zip: Postcode
• dc: random number (optional) to prevent caching
• cb: callback function name. If specified return JSONP rahter than JSON
• returnParcelInfo sends back the parcel number if set to true

Full example:

 //apiv3.geoportail.lu/geocode/search?num=54&street=Avenue%20Gaston%20Diderich&zip=&locality=Luxembourg&_dc=1386599465147&cb=stcCallback1001

Alternative:

• queryString: formatted address in one string
• dc random number
• cb: callback function name

Example: 
//apiv3.geoportail.lu/geocode/search?queryString=54,%20avenue%20Gaston%20Diderich,1420%20%20Luxembourg

Return parameters

• success: success true/false
• count: Number of results found
• results: List order by descending accuracy and ratio
  • parcel optional, according to request parameter returnParcelInfo true/false
    • key parcel id
    • label parcel label
  • ratio: ratio from 0-1. Expresses the certainty of the result, 1 being the maximum
  • name: Formatted string representing the addresse
  • easting: East Coordinate in LUREF Coords
  • northing: North Coordinate in LUREF Coords
  • address: Address String
  • geom : geojson Geometry Object with coordinates in LUREF X,Y
  • geomlonlat: geojson Geometry Object with coordinates in WGS84 Lat/Lon
  • matching street: Name of the street
  • accuracy: Codes from 0 - 8 expressing the level of geocoding(
    • 8. at house number level
    • 7. at point of interest level
    • 6. at street level
    • 5. at locality level
    • 1. at national level (Luxembourg)
  • AddressDetails: Address Details
    • zip: Postcode
    • Locality: locality
    • id_caclr_street: Street ID in national Address DB
    • street: street name
    • postnumber: hosuenumber
    • id_caclr_building: Building ID in national Address DB
