Re: Web service call to determine distance between 2 zip codes

I use Google Maps API for mileage. The call is simple in RPGLE, using
https://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/.

request = '
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?'
+ 'origins=' + originCity + '+' + originState + '+' +
originZip
+ '&destinations=' + destinationCity + '+' +
destinationState + '+' + destinationZip
+ '&key=' + googleAPI
+ '&units=imperial&';
response = '/tmp/googleDistance' + randomFileName(20) + '.json'
;

rc = http_url_get(request :response);

subject: Web service call to determine distance between 2 zip codes

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
I have been given a task to extract data concerning packages that have
shipped
Part of that data is to determine the distance between the origin zip code
and the destination zip code
Does anyone have code (and is willing to share it) for a web service call
to obtain this information?
As always - all answers gratefully accepted
