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.
The Distance Validator API grants users the capability to swiftly and accurately compute the distance between any two geographic 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 API returns a JSON object containing the calculated distance between two locations, the unit of measurement (e.g., kilometers), and detailed information about each location, including coordinates and place identifiers.
Key fields include "distance" (numeric value), "unit" (measurement unit), and "location1" and "location2" objects, which provide details like latitude, longitude, and place names.
The response is structured as a JSON object with a top-level distance field, a unit field, and nested objects for each location containing attributes like place_id, coordinates, and address details.
The primary parameter required is the two locations for which the distance is to be calculated. These can be specified using place names, coordinates, or place IDs.
The Distance Validator API utilizes advanced algorithms and mapping technologies, sourcing data from reliable providers like OpenStreetMap, ensuring high accuracy in distance calculations.
Common use cases include route planning for deliveries, logistics optimization between warehouses, travel distance estimation, and fitness tracking for workouts.
Users can extract the distance and unit for route planning or logistics, while location details can enhance applications by providing context, such as proximity to amenities in real estate apps.
The endpoint provides distance measurements, location coordinates, place identifiers, and detailed address information, allowing users to gain insights into geographic relationships between locations.

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.
