## Usage
### Via Shell Script
```bash
# Calculate relationship between two points
./scripts/relationship.sh '{
"start": {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060},
"end": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851}
}'
# Include specific calculations
./scripts/relationship.sh '{
"start": {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060},
"end": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851},
"include": ["distance", "direction", "travel_time", "description"]
}'
```
### Via curl
```bash
curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"start": {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060}, "end": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851}}' \
"https://api.getcamino.ai/relationship"
```
## Parameters
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| start | object | Yes | Starting point with lat/lon |
| end | object | Yes | Ending point with lat/lon |
| include | array | No | What to include: distance, direction, travel_time, description |
## Response Format
```json
{
"distance": {
"meters": 5420,
"kilometers": 5.42,
"miles": 3.37
},
"direction": {
"bearing": 42,
"cardinal": "NE",
"description": "northeast"
},
"travel_time": {
"walking_minutes": 68,
"driving_minutes": 15,
"cycling_minutes": 22
},
"description": "5.4 km northeast, about 15 minutes by car"
}
```
## Examples
### Simple distance check
```bash
./scripts/relationship.sh '{
"start": {"lat": 51.5074, "lon": -0.1278},
"end": {"lat": 48.8566, "lon": 2.3522}
}'
```
### Get only distance and direction
```bash
./scripts/relationship.sh '{
"start": {"lat": 40.7128, "lon": -74.0060},
"end": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851},
"include": ["distance", "direction"]
}'
```
## Use Cases
- **Proximity checks**: Determine if two locations are within a certain distance
- **Direction guidance**: Provide cardinal direction context (north, southeast, etc.)
- **Travel planning**: Estimate travel times for different transport modes
- **Location context**: Generate human-readable descriptions of spatial relationships
