WayMatrix Routing API
WayMatrix Routing API
Travel-time matrices, routes and isochrones, compatible with the openrouteservice API.
A drop-in compatible alternative to the openrouteservice API for three endpoint families: matrix, directions and isochrones. Point an existing openrouteservice client at this base URL, change the key, and it works — no other changes.
What this service is, honestly
driving-caronly. Any other profile returns the engine's own "incorrect value" error. Truck, bike and foot profiles are not served.- North America only, from an OpenStreetMap extract. Excellent in metros, variable in rural areas.
- No live traffic. Travel times are free-flow estimates from the road graph.
- Bring your own coordinates. There is no geocoding endpoint.
- Metered per element, not per request. A matrix costs
|sources| x |destinations|elements; directions and isochrones cost a flat number of elements each. Failed calls are never charged.
