Proximity Measure API is a fundamental tool for geospatial computing, enabling users to determine with high accuracy the distance between two geographic points on Earth. Combining geography with advanced technology, this API uses complex algorithms to provide accurate distance measurements essential for a range of navigation, logistics and location-based service applications.
In essence, Proximity Measure API solves the challenge of measuring spatial distance. Accepting latitude and longitude coordinates, it calculates the distance between two locations, providing a clear metric of their separation. This functionality is crucial for applications requiring route optimization, proximity analysis and spatial decision making.
To use this endpoint you must indicate the latitude and longitude of 2 points in the parameters.

To use this API, users must indicate the latitude and longitude of 2 points, to obtain the distance in various units of measurement.
The Proximity Measure 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.
The API uses API keys for authentication. To access the API, include your API key in the request header. The API key is provided upon registration and should be kept secure.
The API returns distance measurements between two geographic points in various units, including feet, kilometers, meters, land miles, nautical miles, and yards.
The Get Distance endpoint returns distance measurements between two geographic points in multiple 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 calculated distance in different units.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with a "data" object containing key-value pairs for each distance measurement unit, making it easy to parse and utilize.
The Get Distance endpoint requires two parameters: the latitude and longitude of the two points. Both coordinates must be provided to calculate the distance accurately.
Users can customize their requests by specifying different latitude and longitude values for the two points, allowing for distance calculations between any two locations on Earth.
Typical use cases include navigation applications, logistics optimization, proximity analysis for location-based services, and spatial decision-making in various industries.
Data accuracy is maintained through the use of advanced algorithms that account for the Earth's curvature and geographical factors, ensuring precise distance calculations.
Users can expect consistent data patterns in the response, with all distance measurements provided in the same structure, allowing for straightforward comparisons and analyses across different units.

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.
