Points of Interest

Points of interest (POIs) are points that are of interest for navigation, route planning or map applications. They consist of a coordinate and other properties that describe the point. These properties can be, for example, a name, the address or URLs.

The MapTrip Server API provides endpoints to query points of interest in a bounding box. The result is a GeoJSON feature collection of all POIs in the bounding box.

Truck Parking Areas

The MapTrip Server API provides access to truck parking areas by our partners Happy Trucker and Bosch Secure Truck Parking. Live information on occupancy is provided for German parking areas by Toll Collect.

Properties

The endpoint [GET] /poi/parking/{from}/{to} returns truck parking areas in the specified bounding box. Every parking area is returned as a point feature with properties. Not all properties are available for every provider:

Example

The resulting GeoJSON looks like this:

Names and detail URLs are available in several languages. You can use the HTTP header Accept-Language to choose the language. If the specified language is not supported or there is no Accept-Language header, English is used as default.

Fuel Stations

The MapTrip Server API provides access to fuel stations and fuel prices by our partner clever-tanken.de.

There are three endpoints related to fuel stations:

• [GET] /poi/fuelstations/{from}/{to} queries all fuel stations in the provided bounding box. The result is a GeoJSON feature collection with a point feature for every station. Every station has the properties id and name.
• [GET] /poi/fuelstations/{fuelType}/{from}/{to} also returns a GeoJSON with all the fuel stations in the bounding box. Every fuel station has two additional properties: The latest price for the provided fuel type in Euro, and the brand of the fuel station.
• [GET] /poi/fuelstations/{id} queries detailed information for a fuel station like the address, payment information, opening hours, services and the prices for all types of fuel.

Fuel Types

The API currently supports these fuel types:

• Diesel
• Super E5
• Super E10
• SuperPlus
• Autogas

Example: GeoJSON with fuel stations

This curl command fetches the fuel stations in the center of Bonn including prices for Diesel:

curl -X GET "https://api.maptrip.de/v1/poi/fuelstations/Diesel/50.7250666%2C7.0705372/50.7499723%2C7.1117788" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

The resulting GeoJSON looks like this:

      "geometry": {

        "coordinates": [
          7.1012,
          50.738101
        ]
      },
      "properties": {
        "id": "149122",
        "name": "bft Bonn Zentrum",
        "price": "1.579",
        "brand": "bft"
      }
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Stations which do not offer the specified type of fuel are not returned.

A call to the endpoint [GET] /poi/fuelstations/{from}/{to} would return the same result without the highlighted properties price and brand.

Example: Fuel station details

To retrieve the details of the fuel station from the example above, you can use the property id:

curl "https://api.maptrip.de/v1/poi/fuelstations/149122" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Accept-Language: en" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

The texts in the highlighted lines are translated according to the header Accept-Language. Texts are available in English (default), German and Ukrainian.

Road Works

There are two endpoints which return road works on German highways provided by Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes. They return the same road works, but in one case as point layer and in the other case as line layer.

Depending on your use case, you can use one or the other layer or combine both. For example, you can show the point layer on overview maps and add the detailed lines when zooming into the map.

Properties

Example

This request queries road works in Hamburg as a point feature layer:
