To get the Geolocation of a PLZ (in this case 6006):

use Location\Coordinate;
use Location\Distance\Vincenty;

$content = file_get_contents("https://swisspost.opendatasoft.com/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=plz_verzeichnis_v2&q=postleitzahl%3D6006");
        $result  = json_decode($content);

        $lat = $result->records[0]->fields->geo_point_2d[0];
        $long = $result->records[0]->fields->geo_point_2d[1];

Which returns 47.0538244131 and 8.33446804114.

This can then be used with e.g. phpgeo to calculate distance between two PLZ

To get the Geolocation of a PLZ (in this case `6006`): ```php use Location\Coordinate; use Location\Distance\Vincenty; $content = file_get_contents("https://swisspost.opendatasoft.com/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=plz_verzeichnis_v2&q=postleitzahl%3D6006"); $result = json_decode($content); $lat = $result->records[0]->fields->geo_point_2d[0]; $long = $result->records[0]->fields->geo_point_2d[1]; ``` Which returns `47.0538244131` and `8.33446804114`. This can then be used with e.g. [phpgeo](https://github.com/mjaschen/phpgeo) to calculate distance between two PLZ
