Find the distance between two Zip Code using Webservices? [closed]

Question

Are there any good Webservices apart from Google one which can find me the distance between two Zip Codes?

I have

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=95050&destinations=94087&mode=bicycling&sensor=false

which is Google API. Are there any other API's that I can take a look? If yes, can anyone provide me the link for the same?

you could rerfer to this : #7427210 – Ellanellard

in that post, mostly it talk about using Java code. – Bacolod

You can use thezipcodes.com to get location from ZIP Code and calculate distance. To integrate with your service follow thezipcodes.com/docs – Abate

There is a very simple API that will calculate distance between two zip codes. There are also options for zipcodes within a radius and finding the lat/long and city/state. http://zipcodedistanceapi.redline13.com/

It's not giving the correct result as it differs from that of google map. I tested it for the following zip codes: Origin = 76180 Destination = 75029 This API gives 19.829 miles while google map shows 25.8 miles. – Billon

This API gives end to end distance between the two zip codes, not a travelling distance. That's why, the google map shows different distance. – Iseult

The best API so far is google map API developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix – Iseult
