API Reference

Use Radar APIs as building blocks for location-based products and services like pickup and delivery tracking, location-triggered notifications, location verification, store locators, address autocomplete, and more. Or, use Radar APIs to manage your Radar data, including users, geofences, and events.

The API is RESTful, with predictable, resource-oriented URLs. All responses, including errors, return JSON. POST and PUT request body parameters may be sent as application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Authentication#

All requests must be authenticated. Authenticate using your API keys, found on the Settings page. Include your API key in the Authorization header.

API endpoints with authentication level Publishable are safe to call client-side (e.g., from the SDK). You should use your publishable API keys to call these endpoints. Use your Test Publishable key for testing and non-production environments. Use your Live Publishable key for production environments.

API endpoints with authentication level Secret are only safe to call server-side. You should use your secret API keys to call these endpoints. Use your Test Secret key for testing and non-production environments. Use your Live Secret key for production environments. Include your API key in the Authorization header.

Sample request#

curl https://api.radar.io/v1/users \  -H "Authorization: prj_live_sk_..."

Errors#

Building blocks#

Use these endpoints as building blocks for location-based products and services like delivery tracking, store locators, address autocomplete, location-based content and notifications, and more.

Track#

Tracks a location update. Returns the user and the events generated, depending on project settings.

On iOS and Android, use the SDK to track user locations in the foreground or in the background.

deviceId is used to identify logged out users. userId and deviceId are used to identify logged in users. If a matching user already exists, it will be updated. If not, a new user will be created.

Do not send any PII, like names, email addresses, or publicly available IDs, for userId. See privacy best practices for more information.

This endpoint is stateful. For anonymous or stateless context, call the context endpoint instead.

Geocoding#

Forward geocode#

Geocodes an address, converting address to coordinates.

This endpoint is best for complete addresses. For partial addresses or place names, call the autocomplete endpoint instead.

Returns a confidence level, as defined below:

exact: The result matches the query sent.
interpolated: A result where there is a record for the street but not the exact building number, so the value is calculated between two known building numbers.
fallback: A result where Radar does not have a matching record and cannot interpolate the results. Radar falls back to the region containing the query.

Definitions#

GET https://api.radar.io/v1/geocode/forward

Query parameters#

query (string, required): The address to geocode.
layers (string, optional): Optional layer filters. A string, comma-separated, including one or more of place, address, postalCode, locality, county, state, country, coarse, and fine. Note that coarse includes all of postalCode, locality, county, state, and country, whereas fine includes address and place. If not provided, results from address and coarse layers will be returned.
country (string, optional): An optional countries filter. A string of comma-separated countries, the unique 2-letter country code.

Validate an address#

Validates an address. Currently only available for US and Canada addresses for enterprise customers.

This endpoint is best for validating complete structured addresses. For partial addresses or place names, call the autocomplete endpoint instead.

Returns a verificationStatus as part of the result, as defined below:

verified: The input has a complete and unique match with a result.
partially verified: The input has a partial match with a result.
ambiguous: The input closely matches multiple results.
unverified: Unable to verify the input address.

Returns a recordType value in the metadata field as part of the result, values are defined below according to USPS standards:

S: Street Address
P: Post Office Box
R: Rural Route
H: High-rise
F: Firm
G: General Delivery

On US addresses, an analysis field may be returned, which contains the following fields:

unit:missing: Radar detected units at the address, but no unit was specified.
unit:invalid: Radar detected units at the address, but the unit specified doesn't exist.

Object fields#

_id (string): A unique ID for the beacon, provided by Radar. An alphanumeric string.
createdAt (datetime): The datetime when the beacon was created.
updatedAt (datetime): The datetime when the beacon was last updated.
live (boolean): true if the beacon was created with your live API key, false if the beacon was created with your test API key.
description (string): A display name for the beacon.
tag (string): A group for the beacon.
externalId (string): An external ID for the beacon.
type (string, required): The type of beacon, one of ibeacon (supported on iOS and Android) or eddystone (supported on Android only).
uuid (string, required for ibeacon): For iBeacons, the UUID of the beacon.
major (string, required for ibeacon): For iBeacons, the major ID of the beacon.
minor (string, required for ibeacon): For iBeacons, the minor ID of the beacon.
uid (string, required for eddystone): For Eddystone beacons, the UID of the beacon.
instance (string, required for eddystone): For Eddystone beacons, the instance ID of the beacon.
geometry (point): The approximate location of the beacon, used to sync nearby beacons (within 1 kilometer) to the SDK. Coordinates for type point in [longitude,latitude] format.
enabled (boolean): If true, the beacon will generate events. If false, the beacon will not generate events.
metadata (dictionary): A set of custom key-value pairs for the beacon. A JSON string representing a dictionary with up to 16 keys and values of type string, boolean, or number.
