Dear users,
since April 28th, 2026, the URL api.openrouteservice.org has been officially deprecated in favour of api.heigit.org.
Details can be found in this announcement.
We have noticed that since then, less than 5% of all API Requests are using the new API.
To give our users the possibility to gracefully migrate their applications, analyses and workflows, we have decided to not shut down api.openrouteservice.org directly, but rather reduce the quota of all API keys when using the deprecated API.
If you are using api.openrouteservice.org, starting today, August 27th, 2026, you will only have 10% of the quota listed in our plans. Using api.heigit.org, you of course have the full quota.
We will shut off api.openrouteservice.org on September 28th, 2026.
Best regards
the openrouteservice team
