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.
If you're looking for a PHP API that can give you easy access to the Xtify API and several Geocoding APIs, look no further than Pahaki. To set it up, all you need to do is register for an Xtify CPID and then add it to the pahaki.php file.
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.
