Query API with Geo

Knight

Hi, I would like to under how can I pull the data based on distance
1.  I have input call username, which user will supply username
2. I do a function stack to query user location based this username and I return the location data only
3. ?
4. I should add the return location data as part of my next query with distance eval.


now the problem is I m  not sure what I need to do in step 3, how can I convert the return location point data into something that can be eval for distance.

Hi  have you checked out this tutorial on how to sort with geo? It might give you some insight with this use case...

yup i saw that and I understand, but the demo is using a geo location point as a input, my usecase is a bit diff, I getting the geo location point from another query. 
How do I convert the results from a query to use in the next query within the function stack ?

Hey Knight, pretty much just swap the input for the variable where you apply the distance filter on the eval. Just make sure you are working with a single point for the location you want to find your distance from. The distance filter will not work with an array of points there. 

Here's how:

I manage to make it work with variable and sub path, thanks!
