I am currently attempting to utilize the Spacial Great Circle Distance API to calculate the distance between two points. However, I have noticed that this API has been deprecated. Could you please advise if there is an alternative solution available?

    You should be able to use the Lat, Lon coordinates to calculate a distance without an API. A Bing search returns a mathematical option for conversion from degrees to km, for example. https://www.bing.com/search?q=convert+degree+longitude+to+km
