FAQs
What is a Routing API and how does it work?
A Routing API is a set of tools and protocols that enables route planning and optimisation by allowing software applications to communicate with geospatial data. It calculates the most efficient route between two or more points using mapping data, live traffic updates, and user-defined preferences — such as vehicle type or time constraints.
What are the key features of the Routing API?
Key features include:
- Turn-by-turn navigation for accurate guidance
- Route planning and optimisation using real-time traffic insights
- Live traffic data integration for smarter rerouting
- Alternative route generation to adapt to road conditions
- Precise travel time and distance calculations
- Matrix routing for multi-destination planning
- EV-specific routing with charging stop recommendations
How does the API handle live traffic information?
The API dynamically adjusts routes based on real-time traffic conditions. It reroutes drivers around congestion, roadblocks, or incidents to ensure faster, more reliable arrivals.
Can the API generate alternate routes for unexpected events?
Yes. The Routing API can generate flexible alternate routes when disruptions occur. Developers can configure the number and type of alternative routes using parameters like maxAlternatives and alternativeType in the API documentation.
How does the API calculate travel time and distance?
Travel time and distance are calculated using multiple variables — including road types, historical and live traffic data, speed limits, and vehicle profiles. This ensures highly accurate ETAs and distance measurements for planning and reporting.
What is Matrix Routing and when is it useful?
Matrix Routing calculates travel times and distances between multiple locations simultaneously. It's particularly valuable for logistics and delivery companies needing to optimise dispatch, fleet movement, or last-mile deliveries across complex networks.
How can businesses benefit from using a Routing API?
A Routing API empowers businesses to:
- Optimise delivery routes
- Lower operational costs
- Improve service efficiency
- Increase customer satisfaction with on-time arrivals
- Simplify large-scale logistics through matrix and EV routing capabilities
How can developers integrate the Routing API into their applications?
Developers can integrate the API using our RESTful endpoints. Full documentation, including authentication steps and endpoint usage, is available to guide implementation and testing. Link to be added here
Can the Routing API be customised for different use cases?
Yes. The Routing API supports customisation based on use case, industry, and vehicle type. You can configure it for trucks, commercial fleets, electric vehicles, and even time-based delivery preferences, allowing seamless adaptation to your business needs.
