Introduction

Use TollGuru Toll API service to

• calculate tolls for your route
• calculate other costs for your route (such as fuel expenses)
• calculate and travel on the cheapest, the fastest and other compromise routes

Why use TollGuru API

With the Toll API you can calculate tolls, fuel costs and optimal routes for:

Pre-trip planning

• Specify origin, destination and waypoints, if any
• Specify pre-trip route polyline or shape (latitude, longitude coordinates) from any mapping service including Google, Bing, MapBox, Apple Map, HERE, TomTom, Waze, ESRI, MapQuest, JawgMaps, Trimble, PTV, MapmyIndia, Yandex, Michelin, Baidu, Gaode or your custom source

Post-trip toll cost reconciliation

• Route polyline or shape (lat, long coordinates) from any mapping service including Google, Bing, MapBox, Apple Map, HERE, TomTom, Waze, ESRI, MapQuest, JawgMaps, Trimble, PTV, MapmyIndia, Yandex, Michelin, Baidu, Gaode or your custom source after your trip
• Send GPS tracks for a route, such as those received from a smartphone, car GPS or a fleet GPS device

TollGuru API is designed to show you cheaper routes not shown by other mapping services such as Google maps, Apple maps, Waze, HERE, Mapquest, OpenStreetMap, Scout GPS, Trimble Maps, etc. You will see the cheapest, the fastest and the compromise routes since we return routes optimized for two vectors - time and cost. Other mapping and navigation softwares optimize for time. TollGuru is built for real America where both costs and times factor in route decisions. Still not convinced, let us take an example:

Say you want to dispatch a 5-axle semi from Englewood, NJ to Scarsdale, NY in upstate New York. Open any online map and you will see three routes. Most likely all the routes will use George Washington Bridge (GWB) ($90 one-way toll with E-ZPass NY).

In contrast, TollGuru would show the cheapest route over Tappan Zee/ Cuomo Bridge, the fastest route over GWB and then some other logical routes. If you drive on the cheapest route over Tappan Zee, it will take you about 16 minutes more than driving over GWB. But you can save $69 if you pay with NY E-ZPass. That’s a saving of $69 in an hour-long trip! Pretty sweet savings if you ask us.

Who uses TollGuru API

Here are how some of the companies use TollGuru Toll API

• Mapping companies: to extend mapping functionality to provide toll information for their routes
• Smartphone based toll payment solutions: To know toll locations and deduct tolls
• Rideshare, connected vehicles and carshare companies: calculate optimal routes, driver payments, post-trip reconciliation for customer billing
• Trucking companies: How much did my truck drive through each of the states during one or multiple trips, I am sending a truck from Dallas to New York. Where should my drivers take rest? What time should I send my driver for pickup?
• Truckers: What should I bid to cover my expenses and make money? How much should I travel?
• Shippers: How much should I post as a bid so that truckers would be interested in my bid? Transportation planners: Transportation modeling accounting for tolls and other costs, mode choice analysis. I am a city planner. I need to know the value of time for people.
• Tax professionals: Estimate fuel and toll reimbursements for tax purposes
• Others: How much should I reimburse freelancers, movers? I am moving to New York. Where should I buy/rent a home (transportation)?

Get started

Sign up for a free API key using your email and password or Google account. We suggest using Postman to test API before you integrate Toll API into your products. TollGuru Toll API is a REST API with predictable resource-oriented URLs. It uses standard HTTP response codes and authentication to accept form-encoded request bodies and return JSON-encoded response.

How to test?

Using Postman(recommended):

• Download the TollGuru API spec using the download link above and import collections in Postman for testing. Here is how to import collections in Postman

• Copy any individual API code snippet of 'Shell+Curl' type and use import option on Postman for testing a specific API.

Using Shell:

• Make sure you have cUrl install on your system by running 'curl' command your terminal.

• Copy the 'Shell+Curl' command and replace placeholder with your API key in the command text.

• Run the command on your terminal to get the results.
