Release notes

November 25, 2024

For the routing_type request parameter that indicates the routing type, the values car and pedestrian are replaced by driving and walking respectively.

The first version of Routing API is now available with full support for all functions. This includes Directions API, Pairs Directions API, and Truck Directions API.

You can now build bicycle routes. When building a bicycle route, you can exclude new types of roads using the filters parameter: stairways, overpasses, underpasses, and car roads.

You can now set a list of areas to avoid when building a route. See the Excluding areas section for more info.
You can now specify the direction of movement for the start and end point of the route (see the azimuth1 and azimuth2 parameters for each pair of route points).
Routes now have an optional distance_direction parameter. You can use it to set the distance from the starting point in meters maintaining the direction of movement. If distance_direction is set, the response will include an additional reliability field that indicates the accuracy of the calculated route.
You can now build taxi routes. They work exactly like regular car routes, except they additionally include public transport lanes.
