# ZoneDetect
|
|
|
|
This is a C library that allows you to find an area a point belongs to using a database file. A typical example would be looking up the country or timezone given a latitude and longitude. The timezone database also contains the country information.
|
|
|
|
The API should be self-explanatory from zonedetect.h. A small demo is included (demo.c)
|
|
|
|
In the future (after cleanup) I will also commit the program used to convert shapefiles to the binary database files and an automated testsuite.
|
|
|
|
### Online API
|
|
You can test the library using an online API: [https://api.bertold.org/geozone](https://api.bertold.org/geozone)
|
|
It takes the following GET parameters:
|
|
|
|
* lat: Latitude.
|
|
* lon: Longitude.
|
|
* c: Set to one (c=1) to produce compact JSON.
|
|
|
|
For example: [https://api.bertold.org/geozone?lat=51&lon=5](https://api.bertold.org/geozone?lat=51&lon=5)

You are free to use this API for any application, but I am not responsible for the quality of service. Please contact me if your application requires reliability.
