Geo distance (haversine)

Great-circle distance between two latitude/longitude points using the haversine formula. Returns kilometers and miles. Deterministic.

Input

Field	Type	Description
from *	object	{ lat, lng } in decimal degrees
to *	object	{ lat, lng } in decimal degrees

Example output

{
  "km": 3935.75,
  "miles": 2445.56
}

The response is HTTP 402 Payment Required with exact payment requirements. Any x402 v2 client pays automatically and retries:

No wallet? Pay with compute

This is a pure-CPU tool, so an agent without a wallet can pay with proof-of-work instead of USDC: fetch a challenge, solve the sha256 puzzle (16 leading zero bits — a fraction of a second of CPU, no money, no AI tokens), and resend with the X-Pow-Solution header.

import { createHash } from "node:crypto";
const lz = (b) => { let t = 0; for (const x of b) { if (!x) { t += 8; continue; } t += Math.clz32(x) - 24; break; } return t; };
const c = await (await fetch("https://agent402.tools/api/pow/challenge?slug=geo-distance")).json();
let n = 0;
while (lz(createHash("sha256").update(c.challenge + ":" + n).digest()) < c.difficulty) n++;
await fetch("https://agent402.tools/api/geo-distance", { method: "POST", headers: { "X-Pow-Solution": c.token + ":" + n, "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({"from":{"lat":40.7128,"lng":-74.006},"to":{"lat":34.0522,"lng":-118.2437}}) });
