POST Endpoint Usage

This documentation provides detailed instructions on using the POST endpoint to submit routing data requests with our API.

Prerequisites

Ensure Node.js is installed and you have Axios and the filesystem module:

npm install axios fs

const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs'); // Import filesystem module for file handling

async function fetchRoute(coordinates) {
  const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'; // Ensure you replace this with your actual API key
  const apiUrl = 'https://www.usepathway.dev/api/routing';

  const payload = {
    data: {
      coordinates: coordinates
    }
  };

  try {
    const response = await axios.post(apiUrl, payload, {
      headers: {
        'x-api-key': apiKey,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    });

    // Log and save detailed route information
    console.log('Received Routing Data:', response.data);
    response.data.routes.forEach((route, index) => {
      const geometryData = `Route ${index + 1} Geometry:\n${route.geometry}\n`;
      fs.writeFile(`route${index + 1}_geometry.txt`, geometryData, (err) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log(`Geometry for Route ${index + 1 has been saved in a separate file.`);
      });
    });

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
  }
}

// Sample coordinates for route calculation
const coordinates = [
    [-122.4194, 37.7749], // San Francisco, CA
    [-118.2437, 34.0522], // Los Angeles, CA
];

fetchRoute(coordinates);
