#  https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/<api_key>/distance.<format>/<zip_code1>/<zip_code2>/<units>
print(obj.get('distance', f).filter(zip_code1='94106', zip_code2='94132', units=u))
print('------------------')
# https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/<api_key>/radius.<format>/<zip_code>/<distance>/<units>
print(obj.get('radius', f).filter(zip_code='94120', distance='94132', units=u))
print('------------------')
# https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/<api_key>/match-close.<format>/<zip_codes>/<distance>/<units>
print(obj.get('match-close', f).filter(zip_codes='941asd32', distance='5', units=u))
print('------------------')
# https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/<api_key>/info.<format>/<zip_code>/<units>
print(obj.get('info', f).filter(zip_code='94132', units=ou))
print('------------------')
# https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/<api_key>/multi-info.<format>/<zip_code>/<units>
print(obj.get('multi-info', f).filter(zip_code='94132', units=ou))
print('------------------')

# https://www.zipcodeapi.com/rest/<api_key>/radius-sql.<format>/<lat>/<long>/<lat_long_units>/<distance>/<units>/
# <lat_field_name>/<long_field_name>/<precision>
print(obj.get('radius-sql', f).filter(
    lat='37.722223',
    long='-122.484048',
    lat_long_units=ou,
    distance='5',
    units=u,
    lat_field_name='lat',
    long_field_name='long',
    precision='4'
))
