The Directions 5 API is a NAVER Maps interface that follows the REST format, using the HTTP GET method to request route information between the departure and destination points and receiving an array of route data in response. The Directions 5 API allows up to 5 waypoints to be inputted. However, note that the route information provided by the Directions 5 API is only available for cars. Detailed instructions on how to use the Directions 5 API can be found in the Directions 5 section of the API guide. To view this information, click on the **API guide** and navigate to the Directions 5 section of the API guide.
