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.
Pass the coordinates for the start and end points. The API will return the estimated time, the best route, and directions.
Navigation Systems: The API can be used to generate routes and provide turn-by-turn instructions for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Transportation and Logistics Management: The API can be used to plan routes for a fleet of vehicles and optimize delivery times by avoiding traffic.
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.
Personal Use: The API can be used by individuals to plan routes for driving, cycling, or walking, and to estimate the time of arrival.
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.
Outdoor activities: The API can be used to plan routes for hiking, running, and other outdoor activities, and to estimate the time of arrival.
Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations.

The Get Directions endpoint returns route information including distance, estimated travel time, step-by-step directions, and a polyline representation of the route. It also provides details on the selected mode of transportation and any waypoints along the route.
Key fields in the response include "distance" (total distance in meters), "time" (estimated travel time in seconds), "steps" (detailed instructions for each segment), and "waypoints" (coordinates for route points).
The response data is structured in a JSON format, organized into features, properties, and legs. Each leg contains distance, time, and an array of steps, each with specific instructions and distances.
Users can specify parameters such as start and end coordinates, routing mode (drive, bike, walk, etc.), and options to avoid tolls or restricted areas. This allows for customized route planning based on user preferences.
The endpoint provides route distance, estimated travel time, turn-by-turn directions, alternative routes, and the ability to avoid specific road types. It supports various transportation modes, enhancing its versatility.
The API utilizes a combination of mapping data, real-time traffic information, and geographic databases to ensure accurate routing and directions. Data quality is maintained through regular updates and validation processes.
Users can parse the JSON response to extract relevant information such as total distance, estimated time, and detailed step instructions. This data can be integrated into navigation applications or used for route optimization in logistics.
Typical use cases include navigation for personal travel, route planning for delivery services, optimizing ride-sharing routes, and planning outdoor activities like hiking or cycling, ensuring users have the best possible route information.

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, refer to the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
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 3,600, it means 3,600 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 give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.
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 free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
