# Basic Directions Fast - POST Request

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

Let’s see how to build a POST method request for Direction Fast API for the same scenario from the [curbside example](https://docs.nextbillion.ai/routing/directions-api/examples/approach-destinations-on-curbside).

### Request

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

### Response

```json
