Junction live data list

Request Access
Service version: v1
Last edit: 2022.08.19

Purpose

Junction definition details is a REST API endpoint that reads dynamic real-time information about a paginated list of junctions. For all of these junctions, it contains the dynamic real-time metrics for each junction approach, including travel time, delay, stops, queue length, and turn ratios for each exit.

Request data

You can obtain the junction live data list by sending a GET request.

  • Constants and parameters enclosed in curly brackets must be replaced with their values.
  • Please see the following Request parameters section with the required and optional parameters tables for their values. The generic request format is as follows.

HTTPS method: GET

get
URL request example
https://api.tomtom.com/junction-analytics/junctions/1/live-data?key={Your_API_Key}&page={page}&size={size}

Request parameters

Response fields

The following table describes all the fields that can appear in a response.

Field

Description

content[]


array

This is a list of junctions live data.

content[].id


string

This is the unique ID of a junction.

content[].message


string

This message explains why live data is not available.

content[].approachesLiveData[]


array

The array of an approaches live data, if available.

content[].approachesLiveData[].id


string

The approach id unique in the junction context.

content[].approachesLiveData[].travelTimeSec


integer

This is the time it takes to travel the full approach. It is updated every minute.

content[].approachesLiveData[].freeFlowTravelTimeSec


integer

This is the time it takes to travel the full approach without any delays (usually at nights); it is a fixed value from historical data.

content[].approachesLiveData[].delaySec


integer

Travel time - free flow travel time. This is updated every minute.

content[].approachesLiveData[].usualDelaySec


integer

This is the usual delay expected at this time of day, on this day of the week (derived using historical data). This is calculated using data from speed profiles, and fixed value from historical data.

content[].approachesLiveData[].stops


integer

This is the average number of stops per vehicle. This is updated every minute.

content[].approachesLiveData[].queueLengthMeters


integer
