How to call a function in google map geometry using url from .Net Core on server side?

Question

How to call the isLocationOnEdge function from .Net Core on server side?

Something like this,

var api= "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=" + originLat + ',' + originLng + "&destination=" + destinationLat + ',' + destinationLng + "&key=" + apiKey;

Whether the isLocationOnEdge function could also be called like calling the direction API, is there any way to do that?

I need to call it in c# code without using Javascript. And the geometry library is not supported in .Net Core — Kezia Rose, Mar 23 '20 at 14:43
Well that's what I said. It **is** part of the Javascript API. There is no web service. — MrUpsidown, Mar 23 '20 at 14:55
I wanted to know if there is any way to call the function as mentioned in the question? If not, if there is any alternative to do that? — Kezia Rose, Mar 24 '20 at 05:16
I don't know how else I should say the exact same thing again. The **geometry library** is part of the **Javascript API** and there is **no web service** to access it so if you need to use these methods, you need to do it through the **Javascript API**. That was my last comment here... — MrUpsidown, Mar 24 '20 at 11:12

I've found an alternative method to get it work from here

public bool isLocationOnEdge(List<Location> path, Location point, int tolerance = 2)
    {
        var C = new GeoCoordinate(point.Lat, point.Lng);
        for (int i = 0; i < path.Count - 1; i++)
        {
            var A = new GeoCoordinate(path[i].Lat, path[i].Lng);
            var B = new GeoCoordinate(path[i + 1].Lat, path[i + 1].Lng);
            if (Math.Round(A.GetDistanceTo(C) + B.GetDistanceTo(C), tolerance) == Math.Round(A.GetDistanceTo(B), tolerance))
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
