Distances Calculation API

Distances Calculation API calculates travel distances and durations between an origin and multiple destinations, providing essential information for planning routes effectively.

About the API: 

The Distances Calculation API allows users to calculate distances and travel times between a specified origin and one or more destinations. By entering an origin address along with one or more destination addresses, users can retrieve essential information related to their travel needs.

Upon making a request to the API, users receive a structured response with detailed information about each trip. The response includes a series of destination addresses and the single origin address provided. In this way, users can easily see where they are going from their point of departure.

The API generates a matrix of “rows”, where each element corresponds to the queried destinations. For each trip, users receive important metrics such as the distance to each destination, provided both in textual format (e.g., “28.4 km”) and as a numeric value (in meters) for computational use. This flexibility is ideal for applications that need to display the information in user-friendly formats or for backend calculations.

In addition, the API includes the estimated travel time for each route in both text and numeric formats. This helps users to plan their trip efficiently, as they can compare the time required to reach different destinations. The status field confirms the success of the request, ensuring that users receive accurate and reliable data.

In summary, the Distances Calculation API is a complete solution for calculating distances and durations between multiple origins and destinations, making it an indispensable tool for navigation, logistics and travel planning applications. Its ability to provide accurate data in an easy-to-understand format makes it an essential resource for developers and end users alike.

There are different plans suits everyone including a free trial for small amount of requests, but it’s rate is limit to prevent abuse of the service.

This API receives one origin latitude and longitude, along with multiple destination coordinates, and provides travel distances and durations for each route.

The Distances Calculation API calculates travel distances and durations between specified origin and destination coordinates, providing essential data for navigation and planning.

Besides the number of API calls per month, there are no other limitations.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website.

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

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.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
