[closed] Display & export dynamically map itinerary

Hello I want to generate instantly an image showing a route between two points that I've chosen (this image will then be inserted in a video).

On my computer, I've been using Mapbox JS API to display a set of directions, in particular their Directions API which is neat! But now I need a route from a user geolocation retrieved on the fly. With Mapbox URL API, this URL will show the two points, but no itinerary.

https://api.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.dark/pin-l-star+482(%s,%s),pin-l-hairdresser+482(%s,%s)/%s,%s,17/1280x800.png?access_token=%s

The Direction API via URL sends a JSON, but I need the itinerary to be shown on the map.

https://api.mapbox.com/v4/directions/mapbox.walking/2.345732,48.893782;2.353325,48.878329.json?access_token=..." I've been looking to OpenStreetMap, Mapquest, ... Maperitive is interesting: it's a Desktop app with Python API; you can import a GPX itinerary and then saves the image.

I wonder if anyone has another option to say instantly "export an image with itinerary from Point A to Point B". Can't use Google Maps as they don't allow commercial use of the maps from their API.

Thanks in advance!
