Route_PostDirections (removed)
Description :  **Applies to**: see pricing [tiers](https://aka.ms/AzureMapsPricingTier). Returns a route between an origin and a destination, passing through waypoints if they are specified. The route will take into account factors such as current traffic and the typical road speeds on the requested day of the week and time of day. Information returned includes the distance, estimated travel time, and a representation of the route geometry. Additional routing information such as optimized waypoint order or turn by turn instructions is also available, depending on the options selected.

Route_PostDirectionsBatch (removed)
Description :  **Directions Batch API** **Applies to**: see pricing [tiers](https://aka.ms/AzureMapsPricingTier). The Directions Batch API sends batches of queries to Directions API using just a single API call. The API allows caller to batch up to **100** queries. >[!Important] >By using this feature, you agree to the preview legal terms. See the [Preview Supplemental Terms](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/) for additional details. ### Submit Synchronous Batch Request The Synchronous API is recommended for lightweight batch requests. When the service receives a request, it will respond as soon as the batch items are calculated and there will be no possibility to retrieve the results later. The Synchronous API will return a timeout error (a 408 response) if the request takes longer than 60 seconds. The number of batch items is limited to **100** for this API. ``` POST https://atlas.microsoft.com/route/directions:batch?api-version=2023-08-01-preview ``` ### POST Body for Batch Request To send the _directions_ queries you will use a `POST` request where the request body will contain the `batchItems` array in `json` format and the `Content-Type` header will be set to `application/json`. Here's a sample request body containing 2 _directions_ queries: ``` { "batchItems": [ { "optionalId": "bbc9c0f6-ab52-49d8-a788-a658fa654c94", "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "coordinates": [ -122.3368, 47.614988 ], "type": "Point" }, "properties": { "pointIndex": 0, "pointType": "waypoint" } }, { "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "coordinates": [ -122.316067, 47.606356 ], "type": "Point" }, "properties": { "pointIndex": 1, "pointType": "waypoint" } } ], "optimizeRoute": "fastestWithoutTraffic", "routeOutputOptions": [ "routeSummariesOnly" ], "maxRouteCount": 3, "travelMode": "driving" }, { "optionalId": "a191de3c-1268-4986-98f0-03f0a5d9302a", "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "coordinates": [ -122.3368, 47.614988 ], "type": "Point" }, "properties": { "pointIndex": 0, "pointType": "waypoint" } }, { "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "coordinates": [ -122.316067, 47.606356 ], "type": "Point" }, "properties": { "pointIndex": 1, "pointType": "waypoint" } } ], "optimizeRoute": "shortest", "routeOutputOptions": [ "routeSummary" ], "maxRouteCount": 2, "travelMode": "driving" } ] } ``` A _directions_ batchItem object can accept any of the supported _directions_ [URI parameters](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/route/directions#uri-parameters) except query. The batch should contain at least **1** query. ### Batch Response Model The batch response contains a `summary` component that indicates the `totalRequests` that were part of the original batch request and `successfulRequests` i.e. queries which were executed successfully. The batch response also includes a `batchItems` array which contains a response for each and every query in the batch request. The `batchItems` will contain the results in the exact same order the original queries were sent in the batch request. Each item is of one of the following types: - [`DirectionsResponse`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/route/directions#directionsresponse) - If the query completed successfully. - `Error` - If the query failed. The response will contain a `code` and a `message` in this case.
