API Usage

Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.geocoordconv.cc.cd/api/convert",
    json={
        "lng": 116.397428,
        "lat": 39.909204,
        "from": "BD09",
        "to": "BD09MC"
    }
)
result = response.json()
print(f"Converted: {result['data']['lng']}, {result['data']['lat']}")

JavaScript

const response = await fetch("https://www.geocoordconv.cc.cd/api/convert", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    lng: 116.397428,

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this conversion?

The conversion achieves sub-meter accuracy for coordinates within China. Round-trip conversion (BD09 → BD09MC → BD09) maintains precision within 1e-6 degrees (approximately 0.1 meters at mid-latitudes).

What if my coordinates are outside China?

The BD09 → BD09MC transformation is designed for coordinates within China (73°E–135°E, 18°N–54°N). For coordinates outside this region, the tool will display an "Outside China" warning. The GCJ02 and BD09 offsets are only applied within Chinese territory.

Can I use this tool programmatically?

Yes. Send a POST request to /api/convert with JSON body containing lng, lat, from, and to fields. See code examples above for Python, JavaScript, and cURL.

What are BD09 and BD09MC coordinates?

BD09 and BD09MC are geographic coordinate systems used in mapping and GIS applications. Each system uses longitude (east-west) and latitude (north-south) measured in decimal degrees. The conversion between them applies specific mathematical offsets defined by their respective standards.
