Routes and Directions API

The Routes and Directions API is a web-based tool that allows users to find the best route for driving, cycling or walking, providing directions and estimated times of arrival. It can be used for applications such as navigation systems, transportation and logistics management, and personal use.

About the API:

The Routes and Directions API is a powerful tool for finding the best route for driving, cycling or walking. The API takes in a starting location and a destination location and returns a set of instructions and a polyline representation of the route. The polyline is an encoded string that can be plotted on a map to show the route. The API also provides additional information such as distance, estimated time of travel, and alternative routes.

This API can be integrated into a variety of applications such as navigation systems, transportation and logistics management, personal use, and more. It allows users to select their preferred mode of transportation, whether it be driving, cycling, or walking, and returns the most optimal route for that mode. It also has the ability to avoid certain types of roads or areas, for example, Toll roads or restricted areas.

The API supports multiple languages and different units of measure, so it can be used for different regions and cultures. It also provides estimated times of arrival based on real-time traffic data, making it a valuable tool for transportation and logistics management.

In summary, the Routes and Directions API is a valuable tool for anyone looking to find the best route for driving, cycling, or walking. It provides directions and additional information such as distance and alternative routes, estimated times of arrival, and the ability to avoid certain types of roads or areas. It's easy to use and supports multiple languages and units of measure, making it versatile for different regions and cultures.

 

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

Pass the coordinates for the start and end points. The API will return the estimated time, the best route, and directions. 

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

  1. Navigation Systems: The API can be used to generate routes and provide turn-by-turn instructions for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

  2. Transportation and Logistics Management: The API can be used to plan routes for a fleet of vehicles and optimize delivery times by avoiding traffic.

  3. Ride-sharing platforms: The API can be used to calculate the optimal route for a driver to take to pick up and drop off passengers.

  4. Personal Use: The API can be used by individuals to plan routes for driving, cycling, or walking, and to estimate the time of arrival.

  5. Travel and Tourism: The API can be used to plan routes for sightseeing and to find the best way to reach destinations by foot, bike or car.

  6. Outdoor activities: The API can be used to plan routes for hiking, running, and other outdoor activities, and to estimate the time of arrival.

 

Are there any limitations to your plans?

Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations.

  • ✔︎ Reliable Uptime

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.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). 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 paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). 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. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

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 ‘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 ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The ‘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.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
