About Distancematrix.ai

Developers who need distances and journey times inside their own app or website are the audience for this set of web APIs. Distancematrix.ai says it has served clients since 2018, and its pitch is that a developer can start without a demo or a sales call.

The Distance Matrix API

The main product returns journey time and distance between many starting points and many destinations in one request. It supports driving, walking and cycling, and returns duration and duration in traffic. The traffic figures come from real-time data, while a distance in traffic mode relies on aggregated averages. Departure and arrival times can be set, and the service handles very large matrices, up to five thousand by five thousand. Its materials describe fast responses measured in milliseconds.

Geocoding in both directions

A second API converts addresses to coordinates and the reverse. The company offers more than one variant. One focuses on accuracy, with a response time of about a second, and suits navigation systems, property management and urban planning. A faster one, with simplified algorithms and responses of around half a second, suits logistics, delivery and mobile apps that need quick answers. There is also an asynchronous version of the matrix service, labelled as beta.

Where it is used

The site groups solutions for food delivery, taxi services, courier services and logistics and transportation. Developer guides, application guides and case studies sit alongside pricing pages for both main products. Users in several countries use it for tasks such as working out transport fees between buyer and seller or finding the nearest partners in a city.

Trying it

Its site also gives the number of clients it says it serves, and it points to results for the English language as a strength of its matching of place names. Users can specify locations in different ways, for example by postal code or by city name, which the company's own materials mention as useful to developers building marketplaces.

The company invites developers to test all of its APIs free of charge before choosing which fits.
