Multi-stop route total distance

Planning a multi-city road trip, a delivery tour, or a multi-hotel itinerary usually starts with a list of leg distances you already trust — from a map app, a printed guide, or a dispatcher sheet.

What you still need is a clean total and a cumulative mileage reading at every stop so fuel stops, break points, and cost splits stay honest. This multi-stop route total distance calculator accepts an ordered list of leg distances, optionally labeled with destination names, sums them into one route total, and builds a cumulative odometer-style table from the origin through the final waypoint. Choose kilometres or statute miles; every successful response also returns both total_km and total_mi. The same pure module powers the free browser widget and the prepaid API path, so notebooks, edge workers, and support tickets always agree on the same rounded totals without geocoding, map tiles, or network hops.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/multi-stop-route-distance

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Example request

      "label": "Philadelphia"
    },
    {
      "distance": 140,

}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Per request$0.002

Published price — no tokens, no invented credits. A failed task is never charged.

Errors

HTTP	Code	Meaning
`401`	`unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key.
`402`	`insufficient_balance`	Your balance doesn't cover the task price.
`404`	`unknown_type`	That task type doesn't exist.
`429`	`rate_limited`	Too many requests. Use the webhook instead of polling.
