Routing Engine API Documentation

Foreword

This Routing Engine API is mainly for users with their own platform. If you wish to make use of this Routing Engine API for planning, kindly contact support@elasticroute.com and indicate the following:

Your ElasticRoute email account
Nature of your business, e.g. software integrator, logistic company etc.
Estimated number of stops to be planned per day
Estimated number of vehicles required for planning

Thereafter, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Alternatively, you may also make use of our Dashboard API Documentation if your data needs to interact with the ElasticRoute dashboard.

Introduction

ElasticRoute is served on an HTTP REST API, allowing you to easily integrate systems with ElasticRoute. This page aims to explain how to use our API to plan your routes.

Any program capable of sending HTTP requests and parsing JSON is able to interact with our API.

Plans created by your API are separate from the ones created in the dashboard. This means that plans created in your dashboard cannot be modified by the API, and plans created by the API cannot be seen in the dashboard.

API Key

You need to obtain an API Key before you can use the ElasticRoute API. First, provide a name for the new API Key under Settings > API:

A new window will appear display the API Key. Keep it somewhere safe, as it will only be displayed once. If you lose this token, you must delete this and generate a new one.

You will need to set the following HTTP headers in all the API calls made to us:

1. Set HTTP header ‘Content-Type‘ to ‘application/json‘.

Content-Type: application/json

2. Set Custom HTTP header ‘Authorization‘ with your ElasticRoute API key.

Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}

Example:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer y05p5DOXcRAr3ZmaJflWpoNJacSIReWpOq9Hzy6UZKf3hXM3HrrOaHqqg72F

Request URL

You can post to the following end point for route planning and optimization:

POST https://app.elasticroute.com/api/v1/plan/{ plan_id }?c=sync&w=false

Parameters	Description	Type
plan_id	You can specify a unique id for the routing plan. The `plan_id` can be referenced later for retrieval of planned results. The results, referenced by each `plan_id`, can be overridden by a new API call made using the `plan_id`. Required.	String
c	This API call will perform the routing tasks in a queue. However, when `c=sync` is specified, the server will return the result synchronously. Please note that this option is only to be used on small number of stops/ jobs as the server will throw a timeout error after 60 seconds. Optional	String
w	Set true to trigger webhook after planning has been completed. Optional. Default: false (when `c=sync`). Default: true (when c is not specified).	Boolean
