Route Optimization API Usage and Billing

Reminder: To use the Route Optimization API, you must enable billing on each of your projects and include an API key or OAuth token with all API or SDK requests.

Route Optimization API product SKUs

Route Optimization bills per shipment, and has two SKUs that determine the cost. Which SKU is triggered is based on the number of vehicles in your Route Optimization request:

• Requests that contain one vehicle: Billed to the Single Vehicle Routing SKU
• Requests that contain 2 or more vehicles: Billed to Fleet Routing SKU

Important: The Optimize Tours and Batch Optimize Tours API endpoints serve both Single Vehicle Routing and Fleet Routing requests. The SKU is only determined by the number of vehicles in each request.

The per-request charge is based on the number of shipments in the optimization request, times the shipment unit price per SKU.
