Directions API
Introduction
Nextbillion.ai’s Directions API is a service that computes a route between two places. With the Directions API, you can -
-
Find the most optimal route and ETAs between the origin and the destination.
-
Get directions for different driving modes like car & truck.
-
You can also add waypoints, which are coordinates along the route.
-
Plan your trips in advance by setting
departure_timeto get best routes and ETAs -
Get different routes based on different truck dimensions and weight.
The Directions API has 2 versions to cater to different business needs. First, is the Fast version which would return the route and related information in real time. Second, is the Flexible version which offers truck routing and time-based routing features in addition to those available in the Fast version. We will be talking about both these services below
Directions Fast API
Request URL: https://api.nextbillion.io/directions/json?{key}
The Directions Fast API gets the directions in real time for trips starting at current time. The routes returned through this service have the traffic conditions factored in to avoid any delays under usual circumstances.
Directions Fast API service can take input using both HTTPS GET and POST requests. Request URL, parameters and response schema are exactly the same for both methods. However, an important difference between these two input methods is in the maximum number of waypoints that can be added to the input. We will cover them below.
GET Request
To utilize the Directions API and obtain route information, a GET request is made with the required parameters: key, origin, and destination. To customize the request, additional parameters such as waypoints, mode and avoid can be included based on the user's preferences.
Please note that the maximum number of waypoints allowed in a GET request is 50.
Request Parameters
Loading...POST Request
The parameters and their properties for the Directions Fast POST version are the same as listed in the Request Parameter section. The key is passed as a request parameter and the rest of the parameters should be included in the Request Body. An example of a POST request is added in the Sample Queries-Directions Fast section below.
Please note that the maximum number of waypoints allowed in a POST request is 200.

15}'Directions Flexible API
Request URL: https://api.nextbillion.io/directions/json?option=flexible&{key}
The Directions Flexible API offers customizable features for determining routes accurately. It can serve requests for truck specific routing, time based routing, choosing between fastest and shortest route types and also offers to return segment-wise speed limits of the route suggested. The traffic conditions are also factored in, to avoid delays under usual circumstances.
To use the Directions Flexible API service please set the option parameter to flexible. Please note some request and response parameters available in the Fast version are not available in Flexible version and vice-versa.
The Flexible version also supports both HTTPS GET and POST methods. Request URL, parameters and response schemas are exactly the same for both methods. However, an important difference between these two input methods is in the maximum number of waypoints that can be added to the input. We will cover them below.
GET Request
To utilize the Directions Flexible API and obtain route information, a GET request is made with the required parameters: key, origin, destination and option. To customize the request, additional parameters such as waypoints, mode and avoid can be included based on the user's preferences.
Please note that the maximum number of waypoints allowed in a GET request is 50.
Request Parameters
Loading...POST Request
The parameters and their properties for the Directions Flexible POST version are the same as listed in the Request Parameter section. The key and option are passed as query parameters and the rest of the parameters should be included in the Request Body. An example for a POST request is added in the Sample Queries - Directions Flexible section below.

GET Request Example 1
Using the same origin and destination pair from the example from Directions Fast, let's see how different routes are suggested by Directions Flexible for different configurations of parameters. Let’s start by creating a simple flexible request for
-
a trip being made by a
truck -
a specific
departure_time
