WayMatrix Routing API

A drop-in replacement for Openrouteservice's public API, for three endpoint families: matrix, directions and isochrones. Point your Openrouteservice client at this base URL, change the key, and it works.

Before you start

Four things decide whether this API fits what you're building:

• One profile. Every request names a routing profile in its path, such as /v2/matrix/driving-car, and driving-car is the only one served. Any other profile returns an "incorrect value" error; there are no truck, bike or foot profiles.
• North America only, from OpenStreetMap data, with excellent coverage in cities.
• No live traffic. Travel times are estimates from the road network, not current conditions.
• Bring your own coordinates. There is no geocoding endpoint yet. Geocoding is coming soon; until then, send longitude and latitude.

What it costs

You're billed per element rather than per request, and failed calls are never charged.

• Free — 50,000 elements a month (available now).
• $29 a month — 1,000,000 elements, which covers most projects (available now).
• $99 a month — 5,000,000 elements (available now).
• $299 a month — 20,000,000 elements, for larger deployments (coming soon).

An element is one unit of that work:

• A matrix costs |sources| × |destinations| elements.
• Directions cost a flat 10 elements.
• Isochrones scale with reach: locations × 100 × (largest range ÷ reference)².
