List of distance APIs to calculate travel time, the distance between two points, and more.
Quickly calculate walking or driving distances between addresses, cities, airports, or zip codes with distance APIs.
A distance calculator API is a service that provides calculations based on current and forecasted traffic conditions.
Reverse geocoding is a common feature of an API for distance calculating. Geocoding enables users to find an address’s longitude and latitude to determine its precise location on a map.
The application programming interface (API) responds to GET requests to calculate distances and travel time. After a user makes a request, a response is returned in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
The APIs are for new and experienced developers who want to use an API to get the distance between two addresses.
And businesses will find the geocoding feature of an API to calculate distance helpful for marketing purposes. For instance, if they have several locations and want to mail a coupon, they could determine which business address to print on each one. This way, the recipient can visit the nearest store location based on their residential address.
The API distance between two addresses is more accurate than a search engine because typically, search engines do not check if an address is real. With an API to calculate distances, geocodes are generated only on valid addresses.
Developers and other API users can look forward to writing less code, discovering the shortest distance routes in real-time, and receiving accurate information from a distance calculator API.
Businesses can expect to find the fastest routes for product deliveries. They can also grow their brand when they strategically mail campaign advertisements to verified addresses.
