Address Intelligence
Calculate the straight-line distance between any two Indian pincodes in a single API call.
Overview
What the Pincode Distance API does
FinHub's Pincode Distance API resolves the geo-coordinates of two Indian PIN codes and computes the distance between them. It gives BFSI teams a fast, consistent way to assess geographic risk, plan agent allocation, and validate service-area eligibility without maintaining their own PIN-to-location mapping.
Inputs
- Origin pincode
- Destination pincode
Returns
- Straight-line distance (km)
- Origin city and state
- Destination city and state
- Calculation method used
POST /v1/address/pincode-distance
How it works
Three steps to a verified result
Submit two pincodes
Submit two valid Indian PIN codes.
Resolve & calculate
FinHub resolves each pincode's geo-coordinates and computes the haversine distance between them.
Return distance result
Returns the distance in kilometres along with resolved location details, logged for audit.
Use cases
Where teams use Pincode Distance
- Allocating branch or field agents by proximity to the customer
- Assessing geographic risk for cross-region loan or policy applications
- Checking service-area eligibility before onboarding
- Estimating logistics cost for physical document collection
FAQ
Pincode Distance API — FAQs
Common questions about FinHub's Pincode Distance API.
The API returns straight-line (haversine) distance based on each PIN code's resolved geo-centroid, which is well suited for risk and eligibility checks rather than turn-by-turn routing.
