Coordinates Distance API

Calculate the distance between any two coordinates on the map, and express the calculation in different measurement units using our Coordinates Distance API.
You need to provide your API key for every API request you make. Please refer to the Getting Started section for more details.
You can check our Errors section to understand how we handle errors and the responses you will receive in cases when errors occur.

Calculate distance (/distance)

Endpoint used for calculating the distance between two coordinates.

Request parameters

Key
Explanation
Type
Required
start
Comma-separated start coordinates.
string
true
end
Comma-separated end coordinates.
string
true
unit
Unit of length used. Default to kilometer. Accepted values are: meter, kilometer, mile.
string
false

Examples

The following example shows how to calculate the distance between any two coordinates:
GET distance?start=48.857,2.351&end=40.712,74.006
RESPONSE:
{
"start": {
"latitude": 48.857,
"longitude": 2.351
},
"end": {
"latitude": 40.712,
"longitude": 74.006
},
"unit": "kilometer",
"result": 5521.10621
}
If you would like to use a different length unit, you could specify the unit parameter. The following example calculates the distance between two coordinates in miles:
GET distance?start=48.857,2.351&end=40.712,74.006&unit=mile
RESPONSE:
{
"start": {
"latitude": 48.857,
"longitude": 2.351
},
"end": {
"latitude": 40.712,
"longitude": 74.006
},
"unit": "mile",
"result": 3430.65528
}
