The input to Get Travel Cost Matrix is a list of start points and end points expressed as latitude/longitude coordinates. You can also include user-defined fields.

The order of start and end points in the input determines the order of the sequences in the response. For example, if you specify two start points and two end points in the request, the response will contain the following order of sequences (where S is start and E is end): S1 to E1, S1 to E2, S2 to E1, S2 to E2.

When using Get Travel Cost Matrix in a job you must convert flat data to a list. This is because input data for a job is flat data read from a file or database but Get Travel Cost Matrix requires input to be in list format. To convert flat data to a list, use the Transformer stage to create a custom transform.
