Asynchronous Matrix Download

 

Service version: 1
Last edit: 2019.02.18

On this page

Purpose

This endpoint fetches results of the Asynchronous Matrix processing.

  • It responds with a HTTP 200 and the matrix results assuming that the matrix Request processing has completed, or a HTTP 202 (Accepted) if the matrix is still being processed.
  • HTTP 202 (Accepted) will be obtained after 120 seconds, then the client should retry the Request by following the Location header.
  • A HTTP 200 Response does not indicate that every matrix cell succeeded, only that the matrix calculation was completed.
  • Detailed information about the success or failure of the individual calculations of the requested route summaries within the matrix is provided in the HTTP 200 Response.

Note: The matrix download GET Request is a blocking long poll request.

Request data

HTTPS method: GET

URL example

For ease of viewing and identification:

  • Required constants and parameters are shown in bold text.

Response data

HTTP Response codes

Code Meaning and Possible Causes
200 OK: The matrix calculation has completed. Results are streamed to the client.
202 Accepted: The Request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. A Location header is added to the Response containing a link to retry later.
400 Bad Request: Missing required parameters, or parameters didn't pass validation.
403 Forbidden: The API Key is missing, inactive, invalid, not entitled to use the Matrix Routing API over QPS, or over QPD. Can also occur when using HTTP instead of HTTPS.
404 Not Found: The requested resource could not be found. For example, a matrix with a provided matrixId does not exist.
405 Method Not Allowed: The client used an HTTP method other than GET.
408 Request timeout.
414 Requested URI is too long.
500 An error occurred while processing the Request. Please try again later.
502 Internal network connectivity issue. Please try again later.
503 Service currently unavailable. Please try again later.
504 Internal network connectivity issue or a Request that has taken too long to complete. Please try again later.
596 Service not found. Request contains an incorrect FQDN and/or path.

Header Description
Access-Control-Expose-Headers A comma separated list of HTTP header names that browsers are allowed to access.
Value: Content-Length
Access-Control-Allow-Origin A header instructing browsers to allow customer websites to contact the Matrix Routing service.
Value: *
Content-Encoding The Matrix Routing service applies gzip compression to the Responses if it is requested by the client with the Accept-Encoding header.
Value: gzip
Content-Type The format of the Response as chosen by the client (see the contentType Request parameter).

cell A single result of route summary calculation.
statusCode The status code of a Response for a route summary calculation.
response Contains a result of the route summary calculation or an error message.
routeSummary Contains a result of the route summary calculation.
lengthInMeters Element of routeSummary. The route length in meters.
trafficDelayInSeconds Element of routeSummary. The delay in seconds compared to free-flow conditions according to real-time traffic information.
