Allows the user to get an estimate of the price, time, and distance for a delivery from a point A to a point B
Note on getting Quotes using addresses.
We strive to continuously make our platform resolve street addresses optimally, however there outside factors that make that task extremely difficult. (E.g. 2 or more streets with the same name in a single suburb, etc).
TL;DR: Please use the /estimates/quote function instead, whenever possible.
| Response element | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| time | seconds | This is our estimate of the time a driver would take to navigate from the point of pickup to the point of dropoff. |
| distance | metres | Estimate of the distance (through an optimised route) |
| price | ZAR | The charge that would be made on your account, should you place the delivery. |
When queried with two addresses, corresponding to the pick-up and drop-off points, this endpoint will respond with an estimate of how long it might take in seconds, the distance that the driver will have to travel in metres (the routes are optimised), and how much it will cost to carry out the task in Rands.
