Hello Dev’s
I would like to know how can i get the API’s to work with my delivery company.
It is like Uber (but it’s for cargo) and my website get’s all the details of the client and the adress, i want to implement something where the driver clicks on the destination road name and it opens Waze with it set as destination. Currently drivers need to copy paste them or they use Google Maps (but they prefer Waze and i prefer it too).
Thanks.
Hey,
Would the Waze Deep Links API be sufficient for your use case? It is a link that will guide the user to a certain location (text, coordinates or venue ID in Waze) when clicked or redirected to.
Here’s the example link from that help page that should start the navigation towards Time Square in New York when opened on a mobile phone: https://www.waze.com/ul?ll=40.75889500%2C-73.98513100&navigate=yes&zoom=17 On a desktop you’ll just get to see the map and the information on how to install Waze. If you only have the address in text, this should also work, though I find using the query parameter slightly less dependable as you aren’t certain the first result will be the correct one: https://www.waze.com/ul?q=Times%20Square,%20New%20York (the occurrences of %20 are URL-encoded spaces).
