Show HN: Geo Calculation Toolkit API
github.com
I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on: Geo Calculation Toolkit API — a lightweight REST API that performs common geospatial calculations using coordinates and what I refer to as Geo Objects.
(Geo Objects include shapes like polygons, circles, polylines, and other forms with spatial meaning.)
[Why I built this]
A few years ago, I developed a real-time location tracking system. It was a rewarding experience to solve real-world problems using spatial data.
That project left a lasting impression, and recently I revisited some of the location-based logic challenges I encountered back then. I decided to turn a few of those ideas into reusable API features that could help other developers in similar situations.
Rather than handling large GIS datasets, this toolkit focuses on lightweight, real-time calculations involving location and spatial boundaries.
[How to try it]
You can find the full documentation and sample requests here:
GitHub → https://github.com/pepper-craft/geo-calculation-toolkit-api-...
To test the API, please include the following header in your requests:
Header → X-RapidAPI-Key: cc8ca2c596mshb17640c8b5cc21bp13445ejsn7a138f181255
The key has a limited quota, so please note that it’s not intended for unlimited use. I hope that’s understandable.
I’d be happy to hear any thoughts, suggestions, or feedback. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
