Finding travel distance using Google Map or similar apps

I have created the following model to compute the aerial (or point to point) distance between two geographic points given the zip code or specific addresses.
I am wondering if there is any way to find the travel distance between the two points using Google Map, Map Quest, Waze or similar applications.
Thanks in advance,
Zane

@ZTavana,

If you don’t mind using other sources than your mentioned commercial ones OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org (OSM) might be source to use.
The data in OSM - with respect to the license - is freely available and there exist several APIs to calculate e.g. routes. Have a look on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing to get an overview on routing and available APIs.

@knimediger,
Thank you for your reply. I am looking into it and most likely I will use the Python option. Should I use a Python node? Any hint or advice is appreciated.
