Introduction

The Selected Link API calculates the distribution of incoming and outgoing trips through a defined region called "link".

Common use cases

Thanks to the Selected Link API, you can tap into different insights and analysis, such as:

• How much traffic leaves a highway and drives through downtown to avoid congestion.
• Determine corridors for new or expanded roads.
• Alternative routes to manage construction.
• Planning detours.
• Intersection dependencies among multiple segments.
• And much more!

Using this API

This API is asynchronous. There are some important notes about using this API:

• The latitude and longitude coordinates are in EPSG4326 / WGS84 format for both input and output. Other coordinate systems are not supported.
• The longest supported selected link is 2 km (1.24 miles). Requests with a longer link will be rejected.
• As the service is asynchronous it can take a while before results are available, depending on how busy the service is.
• Do not repost your request multiple times if you do not get feedback within seconds. We will ensure to deliver the results.
