How to Find Listings Using Radius Search

Our API provides a powerful radius search feature that allows you to find listings within a specific distance from any location. This is particularly useful for location-based applications, real estate searches, or any service that needs to find nearby listings.


What You'll Need


To perform a radius search, you need three key pieces of information:


  • Latitude - The north-south coordinate of your search center
  • Longitude - The east-west coordinate of your search center
  • Radius - The search distance in kilometers


Basic Usage


The radius search endpoint follows this format:


https://api.repliers.io/listings?lat={latitude}&long={longitude}&radius={kilometers}


Example Request


Let's say you want to find all listings within 3 kilometers of the CN Tower in Toronto. The CN Tower's coordinates are:


  • Latitude: 43.6425662
  • Longitude: -79.3896317


Your API call would look like this:


https://api.repliers.io/listings?lat=43.6425662&long=-79.3896317&radius=3


This request will return all active listings within a 3-kilometer radius of the CN Tower.


How to Get Coordinates


If you don't have the latitude and longitude for your desired location, you can obtain them through several methods:


  • Google Maps: Right-click on any location and select the coordinates that appear
  • Geocoding APIs: Convert addresses to coordinates programmatically
  • GPS devices: Most GPS-enabled devices can provide precise coordinates
  • Online coordinate tools: Various websites offer address-to-coordinate conversion
  • Repliers: Each listing in our API has lat/long values

Response

Tips for Best Results


Choose appropriate radius values: Start with smaller radii (1-5km) for urban areas and larger ones (5-10km) for rural searches.

Verify coordinates: Double-check your latitude and longitude values to ensure accurate results. Incorrect coordinates will return listings from unintended locations.

Consider geographic features: Remember that the radius creates a circular search area, which may include water bodies or inaccessible terrain depending on your location.


Common Use Cases


  • Find properties within specific distance of an address
  • Finding properties within a specific distance of a landmark
  • Identifying listings around a particular neighborhood or district
