Is "avoid_features" supported in snapping?

Hi! I’m using the snapping endpoint to snap a point to the road network. My current request looks like this: I have self hosted ORS setup.

{
  "locations": [
    [fromPoint.longitude, fromPoint.latitude]
  ],
  "radius": 300
}

I tried to add

"options": {
    "avoid_features": ["footways"]
 }

But without success.

Hi, thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately, there are currently no additional parameters such as avoid_features supported by the snap endpoint. However, in your particular example you can avoid snapping to footpaths and other types of roads and ways closed to motorized vehicles by using the car profile, which already excludes these type of ways from the road network.

Cheers!
