Sample request and response

This example requests the distance matrix data between Washington, DC and New York City, NY, in JSON format:

URL
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json
  ?destinations=New%20York%20City%2C%20NY
  &origins=Washington%2C%20DC
  &units=imperial
  &key=YOUR_API_KEY
cURL
curl -L -X GET 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Washington%2C%20DC&destinations=New%20York%20City%2C%20NY&units=imperial&key=YOUR_API_KEY'

Try it! Test this request by entering the URL into your web browser - be sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key. The response shows the distance and duration between the specified origins and destinations.
