🔐 Introducing DigiPin Generator – Powered by APIverse
In an increasingly digital world, accurately representing physical locations is critical — from deliveries and public services to smart city solutions. Enter DigiPin — a 10-character alphanumeric geocode that uniquely represents a latitude-longitude pair within India’s bounding box.
We are excited to share the DigiPin Generator API, built as part of the open-source APIverse project — a centralized API hub for reusable, modular microservices.
🚀 What Is DigiPin?
DigiPin is a custom geolocation encoding system that takes in latitude and longitude coordinates and returns a compact, user-friendly code like:
39J-34T-T563
Unlike complex coordinates, this format is:
- ✅ Easy to remember
- ✅ Hard to mistype
- ✅ Space-efficient
- ✅ Consistent across levels of precision
It uses a quad-grid encoding method over India’s bounding box (Lat: 2.5–38.5
, Lon: 63.5–99.5
), refining precision over 10 levels.
🔧 What Is APIverse?
APIverse is our public .NET-based API platform where we plan to host various utility and productivity APIs. It is:
- Built with .NET Core Web API
- Fully modular and extensible
It currently hosts the DigiPin API, with more APIs planned.
📬 How to Use the DigiPin API
Endpoint:
POST /api/digipin
Request:
{
"latitude": 28.67,
"longitude": 77.21
}
Response:
{
"digiPin": "39J-34T-T563"
}
💻 User Interface
To make it user-friendly, a public UI dashboard is also available at:
👉 http://apiverse.runasp.net/
From this dashboard, users can:
- Enter latitude & longitude
- Generate and view DigiPins
- Copy the result to clipboard
- Access future APIs as they’re released
🔐 Security & Hosting
Both the API and UI are deployed using reliable ASP.NET hosting. We ensure:
- Input validation
- Logging for request tracking
- Cross-origin support (CORS) for public web access
🔐 No Data Storage – Your Privacy Matters
We do not store any user data. No coordinates or DigiPins are saved or logged. The API is completely stateless and focused on real-time usage with full privacy.
🔮 What’s Next?
We're planning to integrate:
- Reverse DigiPin decoding
- Nearby DigiPin search
- Additional public APIs under APIverse (e.g., utilities, geospatial, governance)
🤝 Get Involved
APIverse is designed for public use and developer collaboration. Future updates and documentation will be shared as the project evolves.
