Description

Feature Preview: This endpoint is restricted to pilot customers. Contact Us if you are interested in access.

Compute a route between a set of two or more waypoints.

The API will internally run a path planning algorithm which attempts to find a safe, optimal route based on a number of constraints (Vessel draft, turning restrictions, etc.)

If successful, the endpoint will return a path as an array of latitude & longitude points.

If the routing fails, the endpoint will return an array of error messages.

Request Body

The request body should be JSON-encoded.

• waypoints (Required): An array of two or more input waypoints as [latitude, longitude] pairs. The algorithm will be constrained to route through each of these waypoints sequentially.

Query Parameters

• token (Required): Vector Charts API token.
