🗺️ OSRM Routing Scraper
🚀 Compute driving, cycling, and walking routes anywhere on Earth in seconds. Distance, duration, geometry polylines, and turn-by-turn directions for any origin/destination pair, plus alternative routes and per-segment annotations. No sign-up, no map-tile licence.
The OSRM Routing Scraper wraps the open-source Project OSRM routing engine and returns 17 fields per route, including distance, duration, GeoJSON geometry, snap-to-road waypoints, and detailed turn-by-turn legs. OSRM is the routing engine behind countless mapping products, logistics apps, and academic mobility studies because it ships pre-built world graphs based on OpenStreetMap.
The catalogue covers every road on OpenStreetMap, with three profiles tuned for car, bicycle, and pedestrian travel. This Actor makes routing downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under a minute. Every input runs server-side, so you skip the OSM extract, the contraction-hierarchies build, and the engine deploy entirely.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Logistics teams, delivery startups, GIS analysts, mobility researchers, travel-tech apps, urban planners, hobbyist developers | Last-mile route optimization, ETA calculation, distance matrices, travel-time isochrones, OD pair analytics, map-app prototypes |
📋 What the OSRM Routing Scraper does
Three travel profiles in a single run:
- 🚗 Driving. Car-friendly roads with realistic speed profiles.
- 🚴 Cycling. Bike-friendly paths, lanes, and shared roads.
- 🚶 Foot. Pedestrian routes including footways and crossings.
For each origin/destination pair you can request alternative routes, turn-by-turn step instructions, per-segment annotations (node IDs, durations, distances, speeds), and three levels of geometry detail (full, simplified, or none).
💡 Why it matters: routing infrastructure is hard. Self-hosting OSRM means downloading 60+ GB of OSM extracts, running multi-hour graph builds, and operating a high-availability service. This Actor skips the operational toil and gives you ready-to-use routes per request.
🚀 How to use
- 📝 Sign up. Create a free account with $5 credit (takes 2 minutes).
- 🌐 Open the Actor. Go to the OSRM Routing Scraper page on the Apify Store.
- 🎯 Set input. Add your route requests (lat/lon pairs), pick a profile, and toggle alternatives and steps.
- 🚀 Run it. Click Start and let the Actor compute your routes.
- 📥 Download. Grab your results in the Dataset tab as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.
⏱️ Total time from signup to downloaded routes: 3-5 minutes. No coding required.
