Overview

To work with Urbi APIs, you need an access key. The key gives you access to the API for maps, search, and navigation: see the list of available services.

To work with access keys for using APIs, you can use the Platform Manager.

In the Platform Manager, you can:

  • Create free demo keys and purchase access keys for using APIs: see the Access keys instruction.
  • View the list of created keys, available APIs, the limits set for them, and the lock date of the keys.
  • Check the statistics of request distribution for each key and service for different periods: by day, week, and month.
  • Set restrictions for a key by HTTP headers, IP addresses, subnets, and applications.
  • Learn how different API settings work by using some services in the sandbox.
API
Description
MapGL JS API JavaScript library. Allows to integrate an interactive Urbi 3D map, powered by WebGL, into a site or a web application.
API
Description
Places API Performs a search for organizations, buildings, and places by a wide range of criteria.
Geocoder API Determines coordinates of an object on the map by its address (direct geocoding) and vice versa (reverse geocoding). Also provides information about the object.
Suggest API Provides realtime suggestions that match the search criteria while the search request is being typed.
Categories API Provides information about categories: groups of companies that share the same business area. Used in conjunction with Places API.
Regions API Allows to select a region (an agglomeration that includes a large city and its nearest settlements). Returns a region identifier, which can be used by other APIs to perform a search for organizations, buildings, and places strictly within the region.
Markers API Performs a search for organizations, buildings, and places to display markers on the map.
API
Description
Directions API Builds car, bicycle, and pedestrian routes on the map.
Pairs Directions API Allows to calculate multiple routes in one API call.
Truck Direction API Builds truck routes, taking into account the parameters of the truck and the current road restrictions.
Public Transport API Builds routes for public transport.
Distance Matrix API Calculates distance and travel time between points on the map. Allows to find points with an expected time to reach.
TSP API Solves the traveling salesman problem: builds the shortest route in time or distance to pass through the specified points.
Isochrone API Allows to get an area on the map that is reachable from a given point in a given amount of time by car, by bicycle, or on foot. Can be used to display a courier delivery area based on delivery time and type of transport.
Map Matching API Builds a car route by using a set of route points recorded by a vehicle.
