Is there anyway to add stops directly from features that participate in the network dataset?  I have a network dataset that consists of a polyline route layer and a point layer representing stops along the network.  I am able to add the stops after querying for their geometry in their own map service but this results in two queries on the client.  I would prefer to add the stops in directly in the solve endpoint.

Hi James,

Are you aware you can specify a query request to your feature service/ map service as a url to stops input parameter on solve operation?

I am assuming you publish your own routing services on your enterprise, since you talked about network dataset. Here is the doc for enterprise routing service, Route service with synchronous execution—ArcGIS REST API | ArcGIS for Developers, the stops parameter documentation describes how to specify a url as input. And Example three: Specifying stops using a URL shows an example of specifying url for stops parameter.

By doing this, you don't need to do queries on the client.

Does this help?
