Examples

If your request works without the options object, but returns an error with it: try to %-encode the options object!

Some options examples in readable and minified JSON form:

Border restrictions

Examples for routing options object with border restrictions:

Do not cross country borders at all:

{
    "avoid_borders":"all"
}

{"avoid_borders":"all"}

Do not cross controlled borders (i.e. USA - Canada) but allow crossing of open borders (i.e. France - Germany):

{
    "avoid_borders":"controlled"
}

{"avoid_borders":"controlled"}

Do not route through Austria or Switzerland:

{
    "avoid_countries": [1,120]
}

{"avoid_countries": [1,120]}

Pass open borders but do not cross into Switzerland:

{
    "avoid_borders": "controlled",
    "avoid_countries": [193]
}

{"avoid_borders": "controlled","avoid_countries": [193]}
