Directions endpoint always errors when using profile 'cycling-road' since 24.09.2025

Hello,

I used to do direction queries with the profile cycling-road but these are all failing since today.

Example request (plugged straight from Dashboard | ORS)

curl -X POST \
  'https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/cycling-road' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, application/geo+json, application/gpx+xml, img/png; charset=utf-8' \
  -H 'Authorization: ...' \
  -d '{"coordinates":[[8.681495,49.41461],[8.686507,49.41943],[8.687872,49.420318]]}'

Response:

 - {  -   "error": {        "code": 2003,        "message": "Parameter 'profile' has incorrect value of 'unknown'."      },  -   "info": {  -     "engine": {          "build_date": "2025-06-06T15:39:25Z",          "graph_version": "2",          "version": "9.3.0"        },        "timestamp": 1758737461701      }    } 

The requests also fail on https://maps.openrouteservice.org since today.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks for the nice service! Perfect to do my first steps in the routing world :slight_smile: .

Thanks a lot for reporting this!

Apparently the server instance which hosts the road bike profile is down. I will look into restoring it.

Cheers!

The profile should now be up and running again! :flexed_biceps:
