API ReferenceRoute
Delete a route
Deletes the route from its plan.
Deletes the route from its plan. Stops are not deleted — they are released back to the plan as unassigned, ready to be moved to another route or re-optimized.
Use this to remove an empty driver shift from a plan (e.g. when a driver calls in sick) without losing the orders that were assigned to them.
Authorization
api_key private_key<token>
The Routal API authenticates requests with an API key passed as the private_key query string parameter. Generate and rotate your keys from the Developer Settings section of your Routal workspace.Never ship API keys to a browser or mobile app — they must stay server-side.
