Send an optimizeTours Request

This example shows how to solve the VRP example by sending an RPC request to the Fleet Routing Service.

REST

The following example sends an optimization request to Cloud Fleet Routing API and gets the optimization solution synchronously.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• project-id: your GCP project ID.

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://cloudoptimization.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id:optimizeTours

Request JSON body:

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://cloudoptimization.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id:optimizeTours"

PowerShell

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://cloudoptimization.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id:optimizeTours" | Select-Object -Expand Content

Once the request finishes successfully, you should get a response that looks similar to the following:
