Number of directions points

openrouteservice directions

Hi!

When I call the directions API I get back the error 2004: “Request parameters exceed the server configuration limits. The specified number of waypoints must not be greater than 50.”

In your limitations I cannot find this restriction - it is only mentioned for the matrix API - is it also valid for the directions API? And if yes, is there any possibility to extend the number of points?

Thank you,
Philipp

Yes, that’s a hard limit, exactly what the error message says. And no, we won’t extend this for the time being. In case you’re wondering why: it’s like calling 50 routes at the same time. It’s expensive.

All the best
