Are there any examples available of custom pyqgis code to access ORS? I’ve reviewed the python code in Binder but not sure how I could access similar modules in QGIS…

Thanks,  
Eddie

Hi @eddiewilson,

you’re lucky:

[https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ORStools/](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ORStools/)

Not everything is available, e.g. geocoding, tiles, advanced optimization. For geocoding I published another plugin:

[https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/PeliasGeocoding/](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/PeliasGeocoding/)

And our tiles you can get from the QuickMapServices plugin.

Thanks, Nils… I’ll dig in…
