Access keys
API keys give you access to the API for maps, search, and navigation: see the list of available services.
If you have not used Urbi APIs before, create a free demo key. For full operation, you can purchase access keys.
Services
Maps
API |
Description |
|---|---|
| MapGL JS API | JavaScript library. Allows to integrate an interactive Urbi 3D map, powered by WebGL, into a site or a web application. |
Search
API |
Description |
|---|---|
| Places API | Performs a search for organizations, buildings, and places by a wide range of criteria. |
| Geocoder API | Determines coordinates of an object on the map by its address (direct geocoding) and vice versa (reverse geocoding). Also provides information about the object. |
| Suggest API | Provides real-time suggestions that match the search criteria while the search request is being typed. |
| Categories API | Provides information about categories: groups of companies that share the same business area. Used in conjunction with Places API. |
| Regions API | Allows to select a region (an agglomeration that includes a large city and its nearest settlements). Returns a region identifier, which can be used by other APIs to perform a search for organizations, buildings, and places strictly within the region. |
| Markers API | Performs a search for organizations, buildings, and places to display markers on the map. |
Navigation
API |
Description |
|---|---|
| Routing API | Builds car, taxi, pedestrian, bicycle, truck, and emergency services routes. |
| Public Transport API | Builds routes for public transport. |
| Distance Matrix API | Calculates distance and travel time between points on the map. Allows to find points with an expected time to reach. |
| TSP API | Solves the traveling salesman problem: builds the shortest route in time or distance to pass through the specified points. |
| Isochrone API | Allows to get an area on the map that is reachable from a given point in a given amount of time by car, by bicycle, or on foot. Can be used to display a courier delivery area based on delivery time and type of transport. |
| Map Matching API | Builds a car route by using a set of route points recorded by a vehicle. |

To create a demo key:
- Sign in to the Platform Manager.
- Go to the API Keys tab.
- Click Free Demo Key.
- Enter a key name.
- Click Create.
After you create a demo key, you can use the examples in the documentation to get started working with the APIs, e.g., examples of the Places API requests.
