Guide - Routing OSM API [EXPERIMENTAL]

This API is in an experimental state and may change at any time.

Introduction

The PTV Developer Routing OSM API allows you to plan routes that save time and money for bicycles or cars. It is built on OpenStreetMap (OSM) data.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) data is distributed under the Open Database License (ODbL). If you want to use OpenStreetMap data in something you create and distribute, you must attribute OpenStreetMap

We also offer the PTV Developer Routing API based on HERE data.

The PTV Developer Routing OSM API offers:

  • Advanced Bicycle Routing : 
    • Calculate routes by considering the detailed bicycle-specific information provided in the OSM map. 
    • Choose between using simple bikes, or multitrack eCargobikes especially designed for urban logistics. 
  • Reachable Areas : 
    • Determine isolines describing zones based on driving distance or travel time horizons.
