Fetch full GPX-grade route data from Komoot's public v007 API — geometry, elevation profiles, surfaces, way types, difficulty, and creator metadata — for any public tour by ID or via automatic sitemap discovery.

What it does

Komoot hosts 200M+ public outdoor routes (hikes, bike tours, trail runs, and more). This actor calls the stable v007 JSON API, which returns machine-readable data for any public tour without authentication:

• Full path geometry — all GPS waypoints with lat/lng/altitude/time offset
• Surface breakdown — segmented list of surface types (asphalt, gravel, dirt, singletrack, etc.)
• Way type breakdown — road, path, ferry, etc. per segment
• Elevation — cumulative gain and loss in metres
• Difficulty — easy / moderate / difficult with fitness and technical sub-grades
• Creator — display name of the tour author

Input

Finding tour IDs

Komoot tour IDs are the numeric portion of tour URLs:

You can also leave tourIds empty — the actor will discover IDs from the English sitemap and return up to maxItems tours.

Output

Each dataset record contains:

Use cases

• Building trail databases or route recommendation systems
• GIS analysis of hiking/cycling infrastructure
• Fitness app integrations that need GPX-grade route data
• Research on outdoor activity patterns by region, sport, or difficulty
• Competitive intelligence on popular trail destinations

Technical notes

• Fetches from the public v007 HAL+JSON API — no authentication required for public tours
• Strictly scoped to status: public tours — private tours are not accessible
• Default rate: one request per 0.8 seconds, respecting Komoot's servers
• Residential proxy is optional for normal volumes; recommended above a few hundred tours per hour
