Multiple courier routing

A request to this resource distributes orders between the couriers based on the number of vehicles. After the orders are distributed, the optimal delivery route is built.

Step 1. Send a request to build a route

Request:

curl -X POST "https://courier.yandex.ru/vrs/api/v1/add/mvrp?apikey=<your API key>" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"depot\":{\"id\":0,\"point\":{\"lat\":55.734157,\"lon\":37.589346},\"time_window\":\"07:00-18:00\"},\"vehicles\":[{\"id\":1}],\"locations\":[{\"id\":1,\"point\":{\"lat\":55.708272,\"lon\":37.46826},\"time_window\":\"07:00-18:00\"}],\"options\":{\"time_zone\":3,\"quality\":\"normal\"}}"

The request must contain the API key you obtained. If you don't have a key, submit a connection request.

Response:

The server response contains information about the request processing status.

{
    "id": "a928b748-b2cd07c6-e636b92-7ee54add",
    "status": {
        "estimate": 1699427711.930119,
        "queued": 1699427703.830339
    },
    "yt_operations": [],
    "message": "Task queued"
}

Save the resulting id to use it in the next step.

You can send a request to build a route using the requests library:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
import requests
import time
import datetime

API_KEY = '<your API key>'
API_ROOT_ENDPOINT = 'https://courier.yandex.ru/vrs/api/v1'

# Create the request body that includes the depot, delivery locations, vehicle, and settings.
payload = {
"depot": {
    "id": 0,
    "point": {
        "lat": 55.734157,
        "lon": 37.589346
    },
    "time_window": "07:00-18:00"
},
"vehicles": [{
        "id": 1
    }
],
"locations": [{
        "id": 1,
        "point": {
            "lat": 55.708272,
            "lon": 37.46826
        },
        "time_window": "07:00-18:00"
    }
],
"options": {
    "time_zone": 3,
    "quality": "normal"
}
}


# Send your request and receive a task ID.
response = requests.post(
    API_ROOT_ENDPOINT + '/add/mvrp',
    params={'apikey': API_KEY}, json=payload)

You can send the request using the "request" module:

var request = require('request');

// Create the request body that includes the depot, delivery locations, vehicle, and settings.
var payload = {
"depot": {
    "id": 0,
    "point": {
        "lat": 55.734157,
        "lon": 37.589346
    },
    "time_window": "07:00-18:00"
},
"vehicles": [{
        "id": 1
    }
],
"locations": [{
        "id": 1,
        "point": {
            "lat": 55.708272,
            "lon": 37.46826
        },
        "time_window": "07:00-18:00"
    }
],
"options": {
    "time_zone": 3,
    "quality": "normal"
}
};

const API_KEY = '<your API key>';
const API_ROOT_ENDPOINT = 'https://courier.yandex.ru/vrs/api/v1'

// Send the request and receive the task ID.
function sendRequest(payload) {
    var url = API_ROOT_ENDPOINT + '/add/mvrp?apikey=' + API_KEY;
    var options = {
        body: JSON.stringify(payload),
        headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
    }

    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        request.post(url, options, function(error, response, body) {
            if (error) { reject(error); }
            else {
                var code = response.statusCode;
                if (code == 201 || code == 202) {
                    resolve(JSON.parse(body).id);
                } else {
                    reject(body);
                }
            }
        })
    });
}

function handleError(error) {
    console.log('Error:', error);
}

// sendRequest(payload)
//     .catch(handleError);

Information about the request body is available on the service page.

Step 2. Get the processing result

You can obtain the built route by sending a GET request to the service.

Request:

curl -X GET "https://courier.yandex.ru/vrs/api/v1/result/mvrp/a928b748-b2cd07c6-e636b92-7ee54add"

Response:

If the route was built, the response will contain information about the route. Otherwise, the response will contain information about the request processing status.


# Wait for the response.
poll_stop_codes = {
    requests.codes.ok,
    requests.codes.gone,
    requests.codes.internal_server_error
}

# Request the server whether the route optimization result is ready using the ID that you received earlier.
if response.status_code == requests.codes.accepted:
    request_id = response.json()['id']
    poll_url = '{}/result/mvrp/{}'.format(API_ROOT_ENDPOINT, request_id)

    response = requests.get(poll_url)
    while response.status_code not in poll_stop_codes:
        time.sleep(1)
        response = requests.get(poll_url)

    # Output the data in a custom format.
    if response.status_code != 200:
        print 'Error {}: {}'.format(response.text, response.status_code)
    else:
        print 'Route optimization completed'
        print ''

        for route in response.json()['result']['routes']:
            print 'Vehicle {} route: {:.2f}km'.format(
                route['vehicle_id'], route['metrics']['total_transit_distance_m'] / 1000)

                    distance=waypoint['transit_distance_m'] / 1000)

            print ''
            print 'See route on Yandex.Maps:'
            print yamaps_url
// Request the server whether the route optimization result is ready using the ID that you received earlier.
function pollResponse(requestId) {
    function delay(t) {
        return new Promise(function(resolve) {
            setTimeout(resolve, t);
