Documentation

Full documentation

• osrm-routed HTTP API documentation
• libosrm API documentation

Quick start

Building OSRM assuming all dependencies are installed:

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Loading preparing a dataset and starting the server:

osrm-extract data.osm.pbf -p profiles/car.lua
osrm-contract data.osrm
osrm-routed data.osrm

Running a query on your local server:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/13.388860,52.517037;13.385983,52.496891?steps=true&alternatives=true

Running a request against the Demo Server

First read the API usage policy.

Then run simple query with instructions and alternatives on Berlin:

curl https://router.project-osrm.org/13.388860,52.517037;13.385983,52.496891?steps=true&alternatives=true
