Route Reports

With our Route Reports APIs, you can retrieve report data for a route, customizing the route with a wide range of settings to fit your vehicles and business needs. For each route, a minimum of two stops and a report type are required. The report response returns a list of reports in JSON format. Below are descriptions of the parameters that can be used to generate reports.

Tip: To apply Route Modifiers (avoids and favors), select your sets using afSetIDs or afSetNames.
