IM using the free version 6 API and, as I know, I cant send more than 120 without traffic and 50 with traffic, and I think this is because I must send the waypoint list in the URL. Is there a way to send 600 waypoint to get a Route? Thanks

  • HERE has so many different APIs, can you please be more specific which API you are using? And it would be nice if you could explain in more detail what do you mean by "600 waypoints" routing, what is your use case? Are you talking about one route of one vehicle with 600 consecutive intermediary stops until it reaches its final destination? – psxls Feb 27 '21 at 09:26
  • This is the API Im using and yes, on single truck need to start, go to 600 consecutive different Address and final destination. – ARMi Software Solutions Feb 28 '21 at 14:13

    OK, so you are using Routing API. Please note that you have shared your private API key in your comment, it is strongly recommended to delete it. – psxls Feb 28 '21 at 23:19

If you already know the sequence/order of the intermediary stops (i.e. you know that your vehicle has to stop firstly to waypoint A and then to waypoint B, etc) you can just break down your request to multiple consecutive requests in a linear fashion.

If you don't know the sequence of your waypoints, then the Waypoints Sequence endpoint of the Fleet Telematics API will do the trick https://developer.here.com/documentation/routing-waypoints/dev_guide/topics/quick-start-simple-car.html But in this case there is no way to avoid the limit of waypoints: The maximum number of waypoints including the start point and end point is 120 without traffic and 50 with traffic.

  • I don't know the sequence of your waypoints, that what I need the API do for me, 120 points is very poor, our trucks delives 400 or more each day. Another problem is the way you design the API, having to send the waypoint list trough the URL is not good, there are a limit in the url size and you use the parameter "waypoinX" which takes meny characters, hard to send 120 points. – ARMi Software Solutions Mar 01 '21 at 15:36
  • HERE's Tour Planning API support 250 points, but you can access this API only with Pro Plan ($449/month). – psxls Mar 02 '21 at 18:32
  • Just to be clear, you have 1 truck delivering to 400 points in a single day? Or do you mean that the WHOLE fleet (multiple trucks) deliver altogether to 400points per day? – psxls Mar 02 '21 at 18:35
  • 12 trucks delivering up to 600 points in a single day, yes. 7200 point a day. – ARMi Software Solutions Mar 03 '21 at 19:05
  • OK, this is a very extreme corner case, definitely not supported by HERE APIs. 600 points within a single day is almost impossible. Even if a truck could arrive to the next destination within only 2 minutes, this would require a 20 hours non-stop shift to complete 600 destinations within one day. I am very curious to understand what kind of trucks are these, what do they transport? – psxls Mar 04 '21 at 01:33
  • We can have 10 points in the same block, so the truck stops only in one corner of the block and from there workers serve the 10 addresses of the block. This are box of cosmetics send to Avon resellers. – ARMi Software Solutions Mar 05 '21 at 10:39
  • OK, so maybe one idea is for you to group the 10 points within one block into only one point when you are calling the API. – psxls Mar 06 '21 at 00:23
  • I had this Idea but ... how to do it? I dont have the block corners coordinates of each block in each city of my country. – ARMi Software Solutions Mar 07 '21 at 14:43
