Route (POST method) Reports

Contents

This API allows you to retrieve report data for a route by POST request. For each route, a minimum of two stops and a report type are required in the POST body. The report response returns a list of reports in JSON format.

With a POST request for a route reports:

  • You can pass in either an Address object or Coords object.

  • You can add a label to each of the Stops.

  • Hours of service options also benefit from a POST request. Additional hours of service options to fully support Cycle Time Gains, use of custom places for rest stops, and Canadian hours of service are only available through the POST version of the request.

POST requests share many of the same parameters with GET requests, but may have slightly different names and are case sensitive in the POST body. (See sample JSON below.)

POST /route/routeReports?dataVersion={dataVersion}

Request Element

The POST routeReports operation requires a JSON formatted ReportRequestBody object in the POST body.

Element Definition Required
ReportRequestBody A ReportRequestBody System Object. It contains list of ReportRoutes System Object. Y
DataVersion Data version: Current (default), PCM_EU, PCM_OC, PCM_SA, PCM_AF, PCM_AS, PCM_ME, PCM_GT, PCM_WW, PCM_NA or PCM18 through PCM32 (for access to prior versions). N
