Easy To Integrate Maps & Location APIs & SDKs For Web & Mobile Applications
Powered with India's most comprehensive and robust mapping functionalities.
You can get your api key to be used in this document here: https://about.mappls.com/api/
Disclaimer¶
- This API is released for select use cases only; Please contact Mappls API Support or your account manager for discussions on usage of this solution.
- Mappls reserves the right to revoke access of this API at its own discrection.
Introduction¶
The trace_route variant of Snap to Road V2 API requires two parameters: a costing mode and a series of latitude and longitude coordinates. This function is designed to transform these coordinates, typically obtained from a GPS trace, into a route that closely follows the road network. Additionally, it generates a set of guidance directions for navigation purposes.
Getting Access¶
Before using the API in the your solution, please ensure that the related access is enabled in the Mappls Console, within your app - be it for Mobile OR Web or Cloud integration.
- Copy and paste the key from your
credentialssection from your API keys into theaccess_tokenquery parameter.- Your static key can be secured by whitelisting its usage for particular IPs (in case of cloud app usage) OR a set of domains (in case of a web app)
- Your static key obtained from your Console is to be passed as a query parameter:
access_token.
Authentication Object - access_token mandatory query parameter.¶
access_token: "hklmgbwzrxncdyavtsuojqpiefrbhqplnm".

Request Parameters¶
Mandatory Parameters¶
points: set of sequential (time-based sequence) coordinates as pairs of longitude,latitude separated by a semicolon. At present maximum number of points is limited to 100 in a single request. For example 77.983936,28.255904;77.05993,28.487555.type: (string) type of additional actions applicable. Valid values:break: split the route response into multiple legs. As of now only onetypeis applicable.
Optional Parameters¶
search_radius: Limits the search of nearest snappable road network to the given radius in meters.
Response Type¶
JSON: response will served as JSON
