TrueWay Routing API

TrueWay Routing API

Finding the optimal route between two or more locations

API description

The routing service can be used to find the best route to get from one location to another or to visit several locations. The best route can be the fastest route for a given time of day considering the traffic conditions applicable during that time. If you have more than two stops to visit, the routing service can determine the best order in which to visit the locations (the traveling salesman problem).

Features and capabilities:

  • Global road network coverage.
  • Find the best route between two or more locations.
  • Optimize routes.
  • Use both historical traffic conditions and live traffic.
  • Can avoid toll roads, highways or ferries.
  • Return distance and duration information.
  • Return route geometry.
  • Return multi-part directions using a series of stops.
  • Return turn-by-turn information.

Finding optimal route to visit several locations (FindDrivingRoute)

Required parameters:

  • stops - Specify two or more semicolon-delimited locations(Lat/Lng) between which the route is to be found. Max: 25.

Optional parameters:

  • avoid_highways - The route should avoid highways.
  • avoid_tolls - The route should avoid toll roads.
  • avoid_ferries - The route should avoid ferries.
  • avoid_highways - The route should avoid highways.
  • geometry_format - The format of the returned route geometry: latlng or lnglat. Default: latlng
  • optimize - Instructs the API to reorder stops to find the optimized route. The route first stop and last stop order is not changed, their position is considered fixed.

Finding optimal route from a origin to a destination (FindDrivingPath)

Required parameters:

  • origin - The location from which you wish to calculate directions.
  • destination - The location to which you wish to calculate directions.

Optional parameters:

  • avoid_highways - The route should avoid highways.
  • avoid_tolls - The route should avoid toll roads.
  • avoid_ferries - The route should avoid ferries.
  • avoid_highways - The route should avoid highways.
  • geometry_format - The format of the returned route geometry: latlng or lnglat. Default: latlng
  • start_time - Time when travel is expected to start. This time is used to take into account traffic conditions. You can specify the time as an integer in seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC or you can use “now” to specify the current time.

The main difference between FindDrivingRoute and FindDrivingPath is that FindDrivingRoute is optimized for a route with multiple stops and can optimize the route (reorder stops) with parameter optimize=true. FindDrivingPath does not change the order of visiting points, but is optimized for a route between two points. Also FindDrivingPath can take traffic conditions into account.

Response

The service returns a optimal route with detailed information:

  • distance (length of route)
  • duration (time of route)
  • route geometry
  • bounds of route geometry
  • turn-by-turn directions

Route contains the following fields:

  • distance contains the length of route (meters).
  • duration contains the time of route (seconds).
  • geometry contains the geometry of route. By default, geometry contains a single coordinates object, which is a two-dimensional array of points (Latitude/Longitude).
  • bounds contains the bounds of geometry.
  • legs contains an array which contains information about a leg of the route, between two locations within the route. A route with no intermediate waypoints will contain exactly one leg within the legs array. Each leg consists of a series of steps.

Leg contains the following fields:

  • distance contains the length of leg (meters).
  • duration contains the time of leg (seconds).
  • start_point_index contains the index of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the leg starts.
  • start_point contains the coordinate of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the leg starts.
  • end_point_index contains the index of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the leg ends.
  • end_point contains the coordinate of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the leg ends.
  • bounds contains the bounds of leg geometry.
  • steps contains an array which contains information about a step of the leg.

Step contains the following fields:

  • distance contains the length of step (meters).
  • duration contains the time of step (seconds).
  • start_point_index contains the index of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the step starts.
  • start_point contains the coordinate of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the step starts.
  • end_point_index contains the index of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the step ends.
  • end_point contains the coordinate of point (within geometry.coordinates array) at which the step ends.
  • bounds contains the bounds of step geometry.
  • maneuver contains the action to take for the step (“turn left”, “turn right”, etc.).

Please note that for FindDrivingPath, the route does not contain the field legs but directly contains the field steps.

Zyla API Hub is, in other words, an API MarketPlace. An all-in-one solution for your developing needs. You will be accessing our extended list of APIs with only your user. Also, you won't need to worry about storing API keys, only one API key for all our products is needed.

Prices are listed in USD. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble with paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Sometimes depending on the bank's fraud protection settings, a bank will decline the validation charge we make when we attempt to be sure a card is valid. We recommend first contacting your bank to see if they are blocking our charges. If more help is needed, please contact [email protected] and our team will investigate further

Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected β€” plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a plan’s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

Just go to the pricing page of that API and select the plan that you want to upgrade to. You will only be charged the full amount of that plan, but you will be enjoying the features that the plan offers right away.

Yes, absolutely. If you want to cancel your plan, simply go to your account and cancel on the Billing page. Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations are immediate.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 9 am to 6 pm (GMT+1). If you reach us after that time, we will be in contact when we are back. Also you can contact us via email to [email protected]
