To use this API, users must indicate the latitude and longitude of 2 points, to obtain the distance in various units of measurement.
The Location Proximity Calculator API is a tool that calculates the precise distance between two sets of geographic coordinates, usually defined by latitude and longitude points.
There are different plans to suit all tastes, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but your rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.
Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
The Obtain Distance endpoint returns a JSON object containing the calculated distance between two geographic coordinates in various units, including feet, kilometers, meters, land miles, nautical miles, and yards.
The key fields in the response data include "feet," "kilometers," "meters," "landMiles," "nauticalMiles," and "yards," each representing the distance between the specified points in different measurement units.
The response data is structured as a JSON object with a "data" key, which contains another object holding the distance values in various units. This allows for easy access to the calculated distances.
The Obtain Distance endpoint requires two parameters: the latitude and longitude of the first point and the latitude and longitude of the second point. These coordinates must be provided in decimal format.
Users can customize their requests by specifying different pairs of latitude and longitude coordinates to calculate distances between any two locations on Earth, allowing for flexible applications in various scenarios.
Typical use cases include optimizing delivery routes for logistics, calculating distances for navigation systems, assessing proximity for urban planning, and assisting travelers in itinerary planning by providing distances between attractions.
Data accuracy is maintained through the use of sophisticated algorithms that calculate distances based on the Earth's curvature, ensuring precise measurements for various applications in navigation and logistics.
Users can expect consistent data patterns in the response, with distances provided in multiple units. The values will vary based on the input coordinates, reflecting the physical separation between the two points accurately.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
