Functionalities

General

Use QGIS to generate input for routing, isochrones and matrix calculations powered by ORS, either via clicking coordinates in the map canvas or using point layers for batch operation.

Customization

The tool includes a config.yml to set the basic config parameters for openrouteservice:

base_url: https://api.openrouteservice.org
api_key: 
req_per_min: 40

The api_key is updated dynamically from the UI. However, if you're running a local ORS version, you want to change the base_url. If your API key is eligible for higher rate limits than 40 req/min, you can also specify this here.
