# Basic Distance Matrix Fast Request

_Implement Using_: [Distance Matrix Fast API](https://docs.nextbillion.ai/routing/distance-matrix-api/synchronous#distance-matrix-fast-api)



Let’s create a simple Distance Matrix Fast request with 3 `origins` (O) and 3 `destinations` (D). We will get a 3 x 3 matrix with `distance` and `duration` values for all 9 combinations (or elements) of O x D pairs. We also set \`mode=car’ to get distance and duration values for a route that a car can take

### Request

```bash
curl --location 'https://api.nextbillion.io/distancematrix/json?origins=34.05456317,-118.31528428|33.99167000,-118.25687955|34.00792776,-118.33063151&destinations=33.96763110,-118.23215346|33.93969502,-118.26583210|33.90184293,-118.19634326&mode=car&key=<your_api_key>'
