Authorization
|
[Required] Should be Bearer access_key. See "Your API Access Key" above when you are subscribed. |
No long-term commitment. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Free Trial includes up to 50 requests.
Users must indicate 2 locations to measure the distance.
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 Distance Map API allows users to calculate the distance between two geographic locations.
The API usually supports JSON as a response format. JSON is widely used due to its simplicity and compatibility with most programming languages and frameworks.
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 Calculate Distances endpoint returns data including the calculated distance between two locations, the unit of measurement (e.g., kilometers), and detailed information about each location, such as place ID, coordinates, and address components.
Key fields in the response include "distance" (numeric value), "unit" (measurement unit), "location1" and "location2" (objects containing details like place ID, latitude, longitude, and address).
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with the main object containing distance information and two nested objects for each location, detailing their attributes such as coordinates and address.
The endpoint provides distance calculations, geographic coordinates, place IDs, and address details for both specified locations, enabling users to understand the spatial relationship between them.
Users can customize requests by specifying different geographic locations using parameters for latitude and longitude or place IDs, allowing for flexible distance calculations based on user needs.
The Distance Map API utilizes data from OpenStreetMap contributors, ensuring a comprehensive and community-driven dataset for accurate geographic information and distance calculations.
Typical use cases include route planning for logistics, travel distance calculations for trip planning, and integration into location-based services for applications requiring distance metrics.
Users can leverage the returned distance and location details for optimizing routes, analyzing travel times, and enhancing applications that require precise geographic calculations and data visualization.
To obtain your API key, first sign in to your account and navigate to the API you want to use. From the API's Pricing section, choose a plan and complete the subscription process. Once subscribed, return to the API page and you will see your API Access Key displayed at the top of the documentation page. You can use this key 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.
The free trial lasts for 7 days and allows you to make up to 50 API requests.
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. If the API offers a free trial, you will see a "Free 7-Day Trial" option in its Pricing section. The trial lasts for 7 days and allows up to 50 API requests, enabling you to evaluate the API before subscribing to a paid plan.
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.
You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply go to the Pricing section of the API you're subscribed to and click the "Unsubscribe" button.
Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Once your subscription is canceled, access to the service will end immediately, regardless of any remaining API calls in your quota.
