Async runs

V3 is in beta. General availability (GA) is planned for January 2027.

Overview

POST /v3/routing/solve holds the connection open until the plan is ready, caps the search at 60 seconds and takes at most 400 tasks. An async run takes the same request body, answers at once, and solves in the background, with a search of up to 3,600 seconds. You then poll the run and fetch the plan when it is done.

Method	Path	Purpose
`POST`	`/v3/routing/runs`	Submit a run. Answers `202` with the run
`GET`	`/v3/routing/runs/{id}`	Poll the run’s status
`GET`	`/v3/routing/runs/{id}/result`	Fetch the plan of a `succeeded` run
`POST`	`/v3/routing/runs/{id}/cancel`	Cancel a `queued` or `running` run

Only solve runs in the background. Evaluate and suggest are quick, and stay synchronous. All four are served from https://api.solvice.io and take your API key in the Authorization header, as on the other endpoints. A run belongs to your account: another account’s run id is a 404.

The life of a run

queued ──► running ──► succeeded
   │          │
   │          └──────► failed
   └─────────────────► cancelled   (from queued or running)

`status`	Meaning
`queued`	Accepted, waiting for a worker to start
`running`	A worker is solving it. `started_at` is set
`succeeded`	The plan is ready at `/result`
`failed`	The run ended without a plan. `error` says why
`cancelled`	You cancelled it. It never returns a plan

succeeded, failed and cancelled are final.

Submit a run

Send the body you would send to /v3/routing/solve: a problem, and optionally a plan and options. These differ from solve:

options.time_limit_s may be up to 3600 (solve: 60).
problem may hold up to 10,000 tasks (solve: 400).
A locked or pinned stop that cannot be driven is not caught at submission: the run ends failed, where solve returns a 400.
callback is not supported yet. A body that has it is a 400 with the item code not_supported at /callback.
The request is validated before the run is accepted, with the same checks and the same error body as solve, so a bad body is a 400 here and never a failed run later.

curl -X POST https://api.solvice.io/v3/routing/runs \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @request.json

The answer is 202 with the run. Keep its id:

202 Accepted

{
  "id": "d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275",
  "status": "queued",
  "links": {
    "self": "/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275",
    "result": "/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275/result"
  }
}

Send an X-Request-Id header of 1 to 128 visible ASCII characters to trace the call. It is echoed in the x-request-id response header, and a generated req_… id is used when it is absent or malformed.

The run

Every endpoint but /result answers with the run:

string (UUID)

The run id, for the paths above.

string

queued, running, succeeded, failed or cancelled. See The life of a run.

object

self and result: the paths to poll and to fetch the plan from, relative to the API host.

object

On failed only: status, code, message and, for an invalid request, errors[], in the shape of the error body. The code is invalid_request, travel_provider_error, internal or worker_lost.

string (RFC 3339, UTC)

When a worker claimed the run. Absent while it is queued.

string (RFC 3339, UTC)

When the run became final. Absent before then.

string (RFC 3339, UTC)

When the run and its plan are deleted: finished_at plus 365 days. Absent before the run is final.

Poll a run

curl https://api.solvice.io/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275 \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"

Poll every few seconds until status is final. While the worker runs:

200 OK, running

{
  "id": "d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275",
  "status": "running",
  "links": {
    "self": "/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275",
    "result": "/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275/result"
  },
  "started_at": "2026-10-15T07:40:59Z"
}

And when it is done:

200 OK, succeeded

{
  "id": "d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "links": {
    "self": "/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275",
    "result": "/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275/result"
  },
  "started_at": "2026-10-15T07:40:59Z",
  "finished_at": "2026-10-15T07:41:00Z",
  "expires_at": "2027-10-15T07:41:00Z"
}

A run that stops without saying so does not stay running for ever. Each poll checks the worker, and the run turns failed with error.code worker_lost when the worker is gone or the run is older than 6,000 seconds. A run that is still queued after 30 minutes turns failed with internal.

Fetch the plan

curl https://api.solvice.io/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275/result \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"

For a succeeded run the answer is 200 with exactly the response POST /v3/routing/solve returns: summary, routes, plan and unassigned. See The V3 API model for every field, and send plan back in a later request to re-optimise. The plan is kept until expires_at. For any other status /result answers 409:

`message` starts with	When
`run_not_finished`	The run is `queued` or `running`. Poll again
`no_result`	The run `failed` or was `cancelled`. Read `error` on the run, or submit again

Cancel a run

curl -X POST https://api.solvice.io/v3/routing/runs/d28568b1-34cc-4f89-b10b-dc24b26a8275/cancel \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"

The answer is 200 with the run: cancelled, or unchanged when it had already finished, since finishing wins a race. A run is cancelled whether it is queued or running.

200 OK, cancelled

{
  "id": "c77fa298-1754-4539-b64b-9ee730479f7c",
  "status": "cancelled",
  "links": {
    "self": "/v3/routing/runs/c77fa298-1754-4539-b64b-9ee730479f7c",
    "result": "/v3/routing/runs/c77fa298-1754-4539-b64b-9ee730479f7c/result"
  },
  "finished_at": "2026-10-15T07:41:22Z",
  "expires_at": "2027-10-15T07:41:22Z"
}

Cancelling does not stop the worker. A cancelled run keeps counting toward the limit of 10 runs until its worker stops, and its plan is never served: /result is a 409 with no_result.

Limits

Limit	Value	Result
`options.time_limit_s`	up to `3600`	`400`, item `limit_exceeded`, pointer `/options/time_limit_s`
Tasks: `jobs` plus `shipments`	10,000, where solve takes 400	`400`, item `limit_exceeded`, pointer `/problem/jobs` (`/problem/shipments` when there are no jobs)
Queued or running runs per account	10	`429` with `Retry-After: 30`
Request body	10 MiB after decompression	`413`
Retention	365 days after the run is final	`expires_at`

The other request limits apply as on solve. Over the rate limit the answer is a 429 as on every endpoint.

Errors

A bad request body is answered with the error body of solve, with the same 400, 403, 413 and 415 cases. The gateway answers the rest in its own shape, so branch on the HTTP status first:

Status	When	Body
`400`	Submit: the request is invalid. Any run endpoint: `id` is not a UUID	submit: the error body. Bad `id`: `{"error": "Invalid UUID string: …"}`
`401`	Missing or invalid API key	Possibly empty
`404`	No run with this id on your account	`{"message": "not_found: routing run …", "error": "GATEWAY_ERROR"}`
`409`	`/result` of a run without a plan	`{"message": "run_not_finished: …", "error": "GATEWAY_ERROR"}` or `no_result`
`429`	Over the rate limit, or 10 runs already queued or running	`Retry-After` header
`503`	The run could not be started. Nothing was created: submit again	`{"message": "Failed to launch routing run", "error": "GATEWAY_ERROR"}`

On 404 and 409 the message begins with a code (not_found, run_not_finished or no_result), then a colon and a sentence. Branch on the code and never parse the sentence. The other rows have no code in the body: branch on the HTTP status.
