How are the Toll API transactions counted
Last updated on Sep 2, 2025 · 2 minutes
Transactions are counted differently based on the endpoints used:
1. Tolls between origin, destination, and waypoints:
Transaction calculation depends on the routing service provider (serviceProvider) specified in your request (tollguru / here / gmaps). Geocoding is performed when you provide addresses without latitude/longitude coordinates for waypoints. Each geocoding counts as 1 transaction for tollguru, here, and 2 transactions for gmaps. Additional transactions are added based on the total number of waypoints (see “Waypoint processing”) and whether route optimization (optimizeWaypoints) is enabled in the request.
Waypoint processing transactions:- Up to 10 waypoints – No extra transactions
- 10-20 waypoints – 1 transaction
- 20-50 waypoints – 2 transactions
- 50+ waypoints – 3 transactions
Transaction breakdown examples:
Example 1 – Simple route (origin to destination):
- 2 transactions for processing from and to addresses for tollguru / here, 4 for gmaps
- 2 transactions for route calculation
- 1 transaction for toll calculation
Total for tollguru / here: 5 transactions
Total for gmaps: 7 transactions
Example 2 – Route with from / to addresses and 15 additional waypoints (6 / 15 waypoints require geocoding), route optimization enabled (optimizeWaypoints=true):
- 5 base transactions for tollguru / here, or 7 base transactions for gmaps (similar to Example 1)
- 6 transactions for geocoding 6 waypoint addresses, doubled for gmaps (12 transactions).
- 1 transaction for processing up to 20 waypoints
- 1 transaction for route optimization.
Total for tollguru / here: 13 transactions
Total for gmaps: 21 transactions
