How this service works
Pure-library spatial math and timezone lookup. Distance, bearing, polygons, point-in-polygon, timezone-by-coords. No external API calls — all computed in-Worker.
Output
Returns the nearest candidate location to the given origin, likely including the winning candidate object, its distance, and possibly its bearing — all computed in-Worker without external API calls.
Example use cases
Find nearest warehouse to customer
“A customer is at 51.5074, -0.1278 (London). I have warehouses at {lat:52.48,lng:-1.90}, {lat:53.48,lng:-2.24}, {lat:51.45,lng:-2.59}, and {lat:50.82,lng:-0.14}. Which warehouse is closest to them? Just run the spatial math, no external APIs.”
Closest charging station lookup
“My EV driver is currently at coordinates 37.7749, -122.4194. I have a list of charging stations: {lat:37.80,lng:-122.43}, {lat:37.76,lng:-122.39}, {lat:37.73,lng:-122.47}, {lat:37.79,lng:-122.40}. Which one is nearest? Use pure distance math only.”
Route driver to nearest depot
“A delivery driver is at 48.8566, 2.3522. Find the nearest depot from this list: {lat:48.90,lng:2.37}, {lat:48.84,lng:2.29}, {lat:48.87,lng:2.41}, {lat:48.82,lng:2.35}. I just need the math done in-house, no mapping service required.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://geo.boring-api.com/nearestWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap, serverless nearest-neighbor computation over a list of coordinates with no dependency on Google Maps, Mapbox, or any third-party geocoding API. Ideal for privacy-sensitive or offline-style geospatial tasks where you supply your own candidate list and just need the math done.
Side effects
- Missing or malformed origin object returns 400 error
- Empty candidates array returns error or empty result
- Non-numeric coordinates cause computation failure
- Payment not included or insufficient triggers 402 response
- Malformed request body returns validation error
