Welcome to AlertZA's API!

For a quick and dirty start try paste the following url into your browser:

This url will give you a list of crimes that took place 30 days ago at 120km around the Gautrain Marlboro station in a "json" text format. In PHP this can be converted to a standard array or object using the json_decode function.

• class = the type of info we are after.
• method = method or function we want to run.
• lat,Lng = lat and lng point to search from (url encoded).
• distance = the distance to search from the latLng point.
• days = the number of days back to search within.

Please let us know what functions you need made available to you and we will be happy to build them into the API.
