Hello everybody, a simpl question, I need to generate trip calculation for a series of couple of lat lon. I saw that there is the possiblity to input the site with a geojson file, could you please show me an example of the correct format?  
Thanks

Hey,

where did you see that?  
If you’re wondering about the geojson-format, have a look at [rfc7946](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7946) which specifies it.

As far as I’m aware of, the openrouteservice does not accept geojson as an input, but just as an output. Have a look at [our API documentation](https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/v2/directions/%7Bprofile%7D/post) to see how that works.

Best regards

HI, thanks for your feedback, I’ll to better explain. I mean in the [OpenRouteService route planner - directions, isochrones and places](https://maps.openrouteservice.org/#/) there is the possibility to insert manually start and destination for route calculation, but there is also the possibility to import a file with coordinates (I suppose). Now I will read the specs you sent me
