• plan_road_trip read-only

  Plan a road trip by campervan or car between 2-10 places with the OpenVan.camp roadbook: distance, driving time and a day-by-day plan with overnights, budget (fuel, tolls, vignettes, ferries), and for every country on the way the entry rule for the given passports, residence permit and plates, how long you and the vehicle may stay (Schengen 90/180), road rules and city access (low-emission zones and stickers such as Umweltplakette and Crit'Air, Italian ZTL), holidays on the trip dates, safety and power plugs, plus the main warning and a checklist. Returns a link to the full roadbook the user can open, edit and share. Use this first when the user describes a trip from A to B.

  Parameters:

  • waypoints (required) — array — 2-10 places in travel order: cities or countries (a country means its capital), e.g. ["Munich", "Venice"].

  • kids — integer — Number of children travelling (adds the documents children need abroad to the checklist).
  • pets — integer — Number of pets travelling (adds pet passport, microchip, rabies and EU titre-test steps to the checklist).
  • tank — number — Tank volume, litres.
  • locale — string — Language the user writes in (en, ru, de, fr, es, pt, tr). Set it on every call: the answer and the interactive card are shown in this language and units; without it the card falls back to the app's interface language.

  • weight — string — Vehicle weight: le35 (up to 3.5 t) or gt35.

  • residence — string — Residence permit of the travellers, ISO alpha-2, in the same order as passports (one code applies to all), e.g. DE. A Schengen residence permit removes the visa and the 90/180 counter in Schengen.
  • round_trip — boolean — Return to the start along the same route.
  • start_date — string — Departure date, YYYY-MM-DD. Enables holidays, weather by day and visa deadlines.
  • avoid_tolls — boolean — Route avoiding toll roads.
