status.codeinteger

Application status inside the body, alongside the HTTP status.

status.messagestring

"ok" on success, or a description of what went wrong.

status.datestring

Server timestamp for the response, in a human-readable format rather than ISO 8601.

dataarray

The result list.

data[].division / district / upazilastring

Name in English, using the current official romanisation.

data[].divisionbn / districtbnstring

The same name in Bengali script, ready to display.

data[].coordinatesstring

A representative point as a single "lat, lon" string — text, not numbers, so split and parse it.

• Build a division → district → upazila selector for a Bangladeshi form
• Display administrative names bilingually without a transliteration table
• Plot divisions or districts roughly on a map from the bundled coordinates
• Validate a Bangladeshi delivery address against official region names
• Normalise older spellings such as Jessore or Comilla to current forms

If BDAPIs (Bangladesh) does not fit, these geolocation & ip apis cover similar ground. Every one was called before publishing, and each links to its own reference page with a working curl command and the response it returned.
