Get sites around a given point :

Result : list of sites around a given point (lat, lng), in a given range (distance), ordered by distance to the central point.
Url for XML format : http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/getAroundLatLngSites.php
Url for GeoJson format : http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/geojson/getAroundLatLngSites.php
Parameters :
- lat : latitude of the center point of the search area, in decimal degrees (real number from -90 to 90)
- lng : longitude of the center point of the search area, in decimal degrees (real from -180 to 180)
- distance : radius of the search circle, expressed in km
- limit : maximum number of sites to display in the search result, order by distance from center point : not specified = all sites available
- style : to have extra text information on the site and the landing information if availalble, give this parameter the "detailled" value
Example : http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/getAroundLatLngSites.php?lat=46.123&lng=6.789&distance=30&limit=2&style=detailled
shows a detailled view of the 2 closest sites around point (46.123°, 6.789°) in a range of 30 km.

Get sites in a bounding box :

Result : list of sites inside a box defined by north, east, south and west values.
Url for XML format: http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/getBoundingBoxSites.php
Url for GeoJSon format: http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/geojson/getBoundingBoxSites.php
Parameters :
- south : minimum latitude value for the sites coordinates (real number from -90 to 90)
- north : maximum latitude value for the sites coordinates (real number from -90 to 90)
- west : minimum longitude value for the sites coordinates (real number from -180 to 180)
- east : maximum longitude value for the sites coordinates (real number from -180 to 180)
- limit : maximum number of sites to display in the search result : if not specified = result shows all the sites available
- style : to have extra text information on the site and the landing information if availalble, give this parameter the "detailled" value
Example : http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/getBoundingBoxSites.php?north=46&south=45&limit=2&west=5.24&east=6.42
shows a not detailled view of all the sites available with latitude between 45° and 46° and longitude between 5.24° and 6.42°
Warning : note that a valid bounding box MUST HAVE 'north' value greater than 'south' value, as well as 'east' value greater than 'west' value (which is a problem for boxes that would contain the -180° longitude line, will have to fix that later)

Get sites in a country :

Result : list of sites in a given country.
Url for XML format: http://www.paraglidingearth.com/api/getCountrySites.php
