9 years ago This shouldn't be too difficult. Thanks for suggesting it. We will try to find the time in the next week or two.

The Shabbat times API only accepts cartesian style coordinates at the moment.
Typically, coordinates are obtained from devices in a decimal format, which look like this: latitude: 31.7684025, longitude: 35.2132987
However, the API only accepts coordinates in radians, which looks like this: 31.44º N, 35.12º E
It is possible to convert decimal to radians with a fairly simple formula: radians = decimal / π * 180
But unfortunately, this isn't very accurate due to the fact that the earth isn't exactly spherical.
It would be much easier if I could pass in a latitude in decimal format, e.g.: ?cfg=json&m=50&geo=pos&latitude= 31.7684025 &longitude= 35.2132987
Would this be difficult?
