3. Get Geoapify API key
You will require an API Key to use the API. Register on MyProject Geoapify and get an API key.
4. Generate HTTP Post request
Generate an HTTP Post request with input data and make the call. You can copy a request object from the Playground or generate one by yourself.
Here is an example of calling Route Planner API:
fetch('https://api.geoapify.com/v1/routeplanner?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY', {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(requestObject)
}).then(res=>res.json())
.then(result => console.log(result));5. Process and visualize results
The API returns a FeatureCollection GeoJSON object as the result. As GeoJSON is natively supported by map client libraries the result can be easily visualized on the map. Find code samples of Route Planner API data processing and GeoJSON visualization on Geoapify APIDocs.
