# api.openrouteservice.org stops working

Calls to api.openrouteservice.org stopped working on November 2, 2026.

Access to api.openrouteservice.org was shut down starting November 2, 2026. Calls sent to this host fail. The change removes the older host entirely rather than redirecting traffic.

## What to use instead

Direct calls to api.heigit.org using your existing key. Route /v2/directions, /v2/isochrones, /v2/matrix, /v2/snap, and /v2/export under /openrouteservice/v2/; /geocode under /pelias/v1; /elevation under /openelevationservice/v0; /optimization under /vroom/v0; and /pois under /openpoiservice/v0/pois.
