Plan a transit trip from {origin} to {destination} using only {modes} with at most {changes} transfers.

POST /routes Calculate a car, truck or walking route · Calculate routes via POST #

Ask an LLM

“How do I calculate a driving route while avoiding a long list of areas I can't fit in the URL?”

“Can I get a truck route that avoids tolls and specific road features?”

Tell an agent

Route a {transportMode} from {origin} to {destination} and give me {alternatives} alternatives.

GET /routes/{routeHandle} Recall a calculated route from its handle · Get route by handle via GET #

Ask an LLM

“How do I get a previously calculated route back from its route handle?”

“Can I reroute from my current position using a route handle?”

Tell an agent

POST /routes/{routeHandle} Recall a route handle with a POST body · Get route by handle via POST #

Restore route {routeHandle} by POST with body exclusions {exclude} for a {transportMode}.

POST /import Build a route from a GPS trace · Calculate a route from a sequence of trace points #

Ask an LLM

“How do I turn a recorded GPS track into a route with travel time and distance?”
