Welcome to the CDX Technologies August
2017 Newsletter
Our new webservice CDXGeoData
now includes the ability to geocode, reverse geocode, and calculate
driving distance and time using Bing Maps as the source of mapping
data. CDXGeoData does not require software deployment like
CDXZipStream, but instead is accessed through an API key provided
with a free CDXGeoData account. The key can be shared among
users.
Geocoding and routing functions can be accessed
through free Excel templates (compatible with both PC's and Mac's),
and can be used by programmers to develop custom desktop or web-based
applications.

CDXGeoData Now
Includes Geocoding and Routing Functions
CDXGeoData is our latest offering
that provides location analytics entirely through a web-based
service. It can verify address data, look up ZIP+4 codes,
retrieve ZIP Code demographics, and can now use Bing Maps
functionality for geocoding, reverse geocoding, and calculating
travel time and distance. It can be accessed through a set of
spreadsheet apps and web-service APIs that are compatible with
various platforms such as Windows, Apple iOS, and LINUX. Here's
a short tutorial showing how it works with a Microsoft Excel
template:

CDXGeoData templates like the one in the video above
are free downloads from our website.
When you sign up for a free CDXGeoData account, you
get an API key along with 1000 free data tokens each month.
Additional tokens can be purchased as needed, and any number of
users can access the data service under a single key. This is
especially useful for a one-time analysis or for specific functions
that require access by a large number of users. Unlike
CDXZipStream and CDXStreamer, no additional software purchase or
deployment is necessary. Please refer to our website for data pricing
information.
Most business users can download our free Excel
templates to access CDXGeoData functions. They can also be
accessed through our portal at geodata.cdxtech.com. Just
log in with the username and API key associated with your GeoData
account, and from there you can also track usage, create and download
example reports and view programming examples in C#, Javascript and
Visual Basic.
CDXGeoData can be used by programmers to develop
custom desktop or web-based applications. The CDXGeoData Web
Services API uses REST (REpresentational State Transfer), which
builds web services that are lightweight, easy to maintain, and
scalable.
You can sign up and try a free CDXGeoData account on CDXTech.com.
