# Approach destinations on curbside

_Implement Using:_ [Directions Fast API](https://docs.nextbillion.ai/routing/directions-api#directions-fast-api)

In this example, we will make a Directions Fast request to get a route where all stops are to be approached from the driving side only. We use the `approaches` parameter to configure the approach direction for each stop on the route. We prepare the request by adding:

-   `origin` & `destination` to to denote the starting and end locations of the trip
-   `waypoints` with location coordinates of 3 stops
-   `mode` set to “car” to get a route which a car can take
-   `approaches` parameter specifying “curbside” approach for all stops including the destination

### Request

```bash
curl --location 'https://api.nextbillion.io/directions/json?origin=34.06179645,-118.28182218&destination=34.01815592,-118.24560423&mode=car&key=<your_api_key>&waypoints=34.05004809,-118.25490318|34.03748485,-118.24975388|34.02888816,-118.24129738&approaches=curb;curb;curb;curb' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
