Python Client for Route Optimization API¶
Route Optimization API: he Route Optimization API assigns tasks and routes to a vehicle fleet, optimizing against the objectives and constraints that you supply for your transportation goals.
Quick Start¶
In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:
Installation¶
Install this library in a virtual environment using venv. venv is a tool that creates isolated Python environments. These isolated environments can have separate versions of Python packages, which allows you to isolate one project’s dependencies from the dependencies of other projects.
With venv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.
Code samples and snippets¶
Code samples and snippets live in the samples/ folder.
Supported Python Versions¶
Our client libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Python.
Python >= 3.7
Unsupported Python Versions¶
Python <= 3.6
If you are using an end-of-life version of Python, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported version.
Mac/Linux¶
python3 -m venv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
pip install google-maps-routeoptimization
Windows¶
py -m venv <your-env>
.\<your-env>\Scripts\activate
pip install google-maps-routeoptimization
Next Steps¶
Read the Client Library Documentation for Route Optimization API to see other available methods on the client.
Read the Route Optimization API Product documentation to learn more about the product and see How-to Guides.

Note
Because this client uses grpc library, it is safe to
share instances across threads. In multiprocessing scenarios, the best
practice is to create client instances after the invocation of
os.fork() by multiprocessing.pool.Pool or
multiprocessing.Process.
