How get total distance and time from waypoints in HERE REST API - rest

Question

I need to get the total distance and time from waypoints in HERE REST API.
Now i use the routing api:
https://route.api.here.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json
"app_id=" + API_ID
"&app_code=" + APP_CODE
"&waypoint0=geo!" + fromCoordsLocation
"&waypoint1=geo!" + toCoordsLocation
"&mode=fastest;car"
and read them from json summary object (Response->Route->Summary). This method returns all the maneuvers and for long distances the callback is slow. there is something that allows only the summary (or the total distance and time) to be received?

Answer 1

Check out these additional properties so you can customize the request as you want. In this case I used representation = overview, your request will be
https://route.api.here.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json
"app_id=" + API_ID
"&app_code=" + APP_CODE
"&waypoint0=geo!" + fromCoordsLocation
"&waypoint1=geo!" + toCoordsLocation
"&mode=fastest;car&representation=overview"
The response will be decreased to 78 lines with default 232 lines:
