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.
Pass the start and end coordinates for your trip. Select the Routing mode - drive, truck, bicycle, walk or transit and receive the best route for the trip.

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.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
