Way to save user map route and retrive it whenever required

Maps SDK for Web (JavaScript)
#1

Is there any way to save the user’s map route on tomtom server and access it whenever required using API for provided user’s id? -> In my project, I have the user’s all data on my local pc database. User will search for route from A to B and then I want to store that route on either my local database or tomtom database with user id , so I can access that path again using user id through api.

Hi.

I’m afraid that TomTom doesn’t provide such functionality, but I think that you can store a user ID, origin, and destination points so that you will be able to query API again when needed …

Thanks for the reply,

But, If map data got updated at the tomtom server and there is another shortest path then API will return that new path, but I want that same path that user have selected before.

I see your point.

One way to mitigate this without breaking (IMO) the T&C rules might be not asking only for route A -> B, but instead, use multiple waypoints inside the call, which will increase the probability in the next calls to retrieve the same route.
