# API

Distance API, a powerful distance calculation API for **airline**, **car**, and **maritime** travel. With Distance API, developers can easily integrate **distance calculation functionality** into their applications, allowing users to quickly and accurately determine the distance between waypoints using a variety of travel methods. The API detailed routing information, route segmentation and Country-wise distance breakdown.

## Account, billing and payment

All payments for API access are processed through **Paddle** (paddle.com), our third-party payment provider. Paddle is responsible for handling transactions, including taxes and invoicing. As a result, API customers will receive invoices directly from Paddle when making a purchase. For any payment-related inquiries, please refer to Paddle’s buyer support at [paddle.com/legal-buyers/](https://paddle.com/legal-buyers/).
