Hello,

Does the web version return the same response as API (assuming all same settings & paid account)?

We found that this week web version RouteXL - fastest route with multiple stops seems to return better results than API version?

If same settings, could we have someone take a look why results are different and where to send API response and web version?

Web version Is here RouteXL - fastest route with multiple stops

We could additionally send API response.

Thanks

The website and API should return the exact same results with the same locations and settings, as they use the same algorithm and maps.

However, please note that the website creates roundtrips by default while the API creates one-ways by default. To create a roundtrip with the API you’ll need to add the departure location twice.

Also, we have seen some differences when adresses on the website are located differently from the coordinates used in the API, due to the use of different geocoding services.

If you see differences, feel free to share them here or email to us at info@routexl.com. For the API we’d need your exact request that was posted.
