Pricing is usage-based at $0.75 per 1,000 requests, with a free tier of 2,500 non-tile requests per day shared across all TomTom APIs, self-serve signup, and no sales call required. The API is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified, supports API-key auth, and offers an MCP server alongside JavaScript and TypeScript SDKs. Customers include Microsoft Azure, Huawei, Bolt, and Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, making it a practical choice for logistics, fleet management, and navigation application developers.", "capabilities": { "supported_actions": [ "calculate_route", "calculate_reachable_range", "batch_routing", "waypoint_optimization", "matrix_routing", "snap_to_roads", "long_distance_ev_routing" ], "supported_regions": [ "Americas: 54 countries/territories including US, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, South America", "Europe: 50 countries including all EU members, UK, Russia, Caucasus", "Asia Pacific: 50+ countries including Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Southeast Asia", "Middle East & Africa: 60+ countries", "Real-time traffic available in approximately 90 countries primarily in developed markets", "South Korea requires special domain kr-api.tomtom.com", "Travel modes: car, truck, taxi, bus, van, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian" ], "supported_languages": [ "en-GB", "en-US", "de-DE", "fr-FR", "es-ES", "it-IT", "nl-NL", "da-DK", "is-IS", "sv-SE", "fi-FI", "nb-NO", "pt-PT", "pt-BR", "pl-PL", "cs-CZ", "tr-TR", "hu-HU", "lt-LT", "ca-ES", "sk-SK", "es-419", "es-MX", "ru-RU", "el-GR", "hr-HR", "bg-BG", "sl-SI", "ko-KR", "th-TH", "id-ID", "ms-MY", "sr-RS", "zh-TW", "ar", "af-ZA", "en-ZA" ], "input_types": [ "origin/destination coordinates", "waypoints (up to 150 intermediate)", "travelMode (car/truck/taxi/bus/van/motorcycle/bicycle/pedestrian)", "routeType (fastest/shortest/eco/thrilling)", "departAt/arriveAt timestamps", "traffic boolean (live/historical)", "avoid options (tollRoads/motorways/ferries/unpavedRoads/carpools/borderCrossings/tunnels/carTrains/lowEmissionZones)", "vehicle profile (weight/axle weight/length/width/height/hazmat/ADR)", "consumption model (combustion/electric)", "budget parameters for reachable range (time/distance/fuel/energy)", "language parameter (BCP 47 tags)" ], "output_types": [ "route geometry/polyline", "encodedPolyline (precision 5 or 7)", "distance (meters)", "duration (seconds)", "traffic delay metrics", "departure/arrival times", "turn-by-turn guidance instructions (coded/text/tagged)", "fuel/energy consumption", "reachable range polygon (GeoJSON-style lat/lon array)", "alternative routes (up to 5)", "optimized waypoint sequence", "JSON", "JSONP" ], "webhooks_supported": false, "sandbox_available": false, "sdk_languages": [ "JavaScript/TypeScript", "MCP (Node.js)" ], "mcp_server_available": true }, "integration": { "api_style": "rest", "base_url": "https://api.tomtom.com/routing/1/", "api_version": "1", "versioning_scheme": "url", "stability": "ga", "deprecation_policy_url": "https://developer.tomtom.com/deprecation-policy/overview", "auth_methods": [ "api_key" ], "auth_docs_url": "https://developer.tomtom.com/knowledgebase/platform/articles/how-to-get-an-tomtom-api-key/", "idempotency_supported": false, "error_format": "vendor-specific JSON with detailedError.code and detailedError.message fields", "webhook_signing": null, "webhook_events_url": null, "rate_limit_requests": 5, "rate_limit_window": "second", "sdk_packages": [ { "package": "@tomtom-org/maps-sdk", "language": "JavaScript/TypeScript", "official": true, "repo_url": "https://github.com/tomtom-international/maps-sdk-js" }, { "package": "@tomtom-org/tomtom-mcp", "language": "MCP (Node.js)", "official": true, "repo_url": "https://github.com/tomtom-international/tomtom-maps-mcp" } ], "mcp_url": "https://mcp.tomtom.com/maps", "quickstart_url": "https://developer.tomtom.com/blog/build-different/route-planning-tomtom-maps-apis/" }, "pricing": { "pricing_model": "usage_based", "has_published_pricing": true, "starting_price_usd": "0.7500", "price_basis": "1,000 requests", "free_tier_available": true, "free_tier_limit": "2,500 non-tile requests/day (shared across all APIs)", "free_tier_details": "Freemium plan: 2,500 free non-tile requests daily (recurring, shared across all APIs) plus 50,000 free tile requests daily.
