Response format

The API response contains the route divided into segments. Each segment consists of several steps displayed as polylines. Information about the road quality and estimated time of travel is provided for each segment.

In this case, the response will look like this:

status

Route building status. Possible values: OK, FAIL

steps

Steps to complete the route segment.

length
