Is Valid Coordinates

Validates latitude/longitude coordinates against standard geographic bounds (-90 to 90 for latitude, -180 to 180 for longitude). Available via MCP in Cursor and other AI editors, or GET /v1/geo/is-valid-coordinates. Returns boolean validation with detailed error messages for invalid ranges. Essential for geospatial applications before processing location data.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/geo/is-valid-coordinates

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/geo/is-valid-coordinates" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/geo/is-valid-coordinates', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/geo/is-valid-coordinates',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

What coordinate ranges does the validator accept?

Latitude must be between -90 and 90 degrees, longitude between -180 and 180 degrees. These are standard WGS84 geographic coordinate system bounds.

How can AI agents use this for location validation in MCP?

AI agents can validate user-provided coordinates before geocoding or mapping operations, preventing API errors and ensuring data quality in location-based workflows.

Does it handle edge cases like exactly 180° longitude?

Yes, boundary values like 90°, -90°, 180°, and -180° are considered valid. The validator uses inclusive ranges for both latitude and longitude limits.

What response format does the validation return?

Returns a boolean indicating validity plus descriptive error messages for invalid coordinates, helping identify whether latitude or longitude is out of range.

Can I validate coordinate pairs or individual values?

The tool validates complete coordinate pairs (lat/lng together) to ensure both values fall within their respective valid geographic ranges.
