Xtify provides a geocoding API service that helps to identify and locate specific geographic coordinates. This service can be integrated with various software applications to aid in location-based targeting and messaging.
Once you're up and running, you'll have access to several useful functions. For example, the pahaki_get function can be used internally to download XML from various data sources.
The pahaki_locate function is especially handy, as it can retrieve the Xtify XML for a specific UUID. Similarly, pahaki_lat and pahaki_lon can respectively return latitude and longitude from an Xtify XML string.
If you want a more complete set of coordinates, pahaki_getCoords will give you just that in a "lat,lon" format. Reverse geocoding is also covered, as pahaki_getState can take an Xtify XML string and return the state, while pahaki_getCounty can retrieve the county name.
Overall, Pahaki provides a convenient API layer that can simplify the task of accessing Xtify and Geocoding APIs from a PHP-based application. If you need these functionalities, it's definitely worth checking out.
