API Catalog
Start from the hub, then open the specific API page for endpoint details, examples, behavior, and integration notes.
Maps
Render interactive maps from available vector tile sources.
Elevation
Look up terrain elevation at one point, many points, or an encoded route shape.
Search
Turn user text into coordinates and convert coordinates back into places.
Find addresses, cities, POIs, and place names from a query string.
/search
View API page ->
Resolve latitude and longitude into a readable address or place description.
/search/reverse
View API page ->
Fetch one indexed place or POI by the ID returned from search.
/search/detail/{doc_id}
View API page ->
Routing
Calculate trips, optimize stops, compare travel costs, and model reachable areas.
Return route geometry, duration, distance, and turn-by-turn instructions between waypoints.
/route
View API page ->
Reorder multi-stop trips to reduce travel time, distance, and operational waste.
/optimised_route
View API page ->
Calculate travel time and distance between many origins and destinations in one request.
/matrix
View API page ->
Generate reachable-area polygons by time or distance for coverage, service, and risk models.
/isochrone
View API page ->
Snap GPS traces to the road network and return matched routes or edge attributes.
/map_match
View API page ->
Use Cases
Render branded maps and map-backed interfaces.
Calculate trips, optimize stops, build matrices, and model service areas.
Resolve locations, inspect map data, query elevation, and validate operational reach.
API Pricing
Every endpoint is available on the Starter plan. Move to usage-based billing when your application needs production volume.
Starter
For evaluating APIs, demos, and proofs of concept.
Pro
For production applications with predictable or growing API usage.
Enterprise
For high-volume, multi-endpoint, private infrastructure, or custom data requirements.
Non-Tile APIs
Free tier: 1,000 req / day
| Endpoint | Free Tier | Pro per 1k |
|---|---|---|
| Routing API | 1,000 / day | $1.80 |
| Optimized Route API | 1,000 / day | $1.80 |
| Matrix API | 1,000 / day | $1.80 |

| Search API | 1,000 / day | $0.85 |
| Reverse Search API | 1,000 / day | $0.85 |
| Elevation API | 1,000 / day | $0.80 |
Tile APIs
Free tier: 10,000 req / day
| Endpoint | Free Tier | Pro per 1k |
|---|---|---|
| Vector Tiles API | 10,000 / day | $0.09 |
Tile requests are high-volume by nature. A map view at zoom 14 typically loads 20-40 tiles.
Non-tile APIs share a combined 1,000 req/day free tier. Tile APIs share a combined 10,000 req/day free tier. Paid rates are per 1,000 requests per endpoint. Enterprise rates are negotiated separately.
Support Plans
Every API plan includes community support. Upgrade when you need faster responses, architecture guidance, or custom endpoint work.
Community
Included with Starter and Pro plans for bug reports and integration questions.
Professional
For production teams that want a real person to help with integration and launch issues.
Enterprise
For companies needing custom endpoints, data pipelines, or production support commitments.
FAQ
No. The APIs are a separate product. You can use Farun maps, routing, search, elevation, and spatial APIs without purchasing hardware.
Tile requests are naturally high volume. A single map view can load dozens of tiles, so vector tiles have a lower per-request rate.
Private hosting is available on Enterprise contracts for teams that need location queries and route traffic inside their own environment.
Use the catalog above for product pages, or open the consolidated API documentation at /api/docs.
