Traffic Incidents service

Purpose

The Traffic Incidents service is a suite of web services designed for developers to create web and mobile applications around real-time traffic.

These web services can be used via RESTful APIs.
The Traffic Incidents APIs are based on real-time traffic data from TomTom Traffic™.

The Traffic API Traffic Incidents service consists of the the following endpoints:

The Incident Details service provides information on traffic incidents which are inside a given bounding box or whose geometry intersects with it.

This service returns legal and technical information for the viewport described in the request.

The TomTom Traffic Tile service serves 256 x 256 pixel or 512 x 512 pixel tiles showing traffic incidents.

The Traffic Vector Incidents Tiles API provides data on zoom levels ranging from 0 to 22.

This service provides information on traffic incidents whose bounding box intersects with a given bounding box, based on the given Traffic Model ID.

When you use our location Service APIs, we need a way to identify that it is your application that is making the request to use the service (API).

The TomTom Knowledge Base optimizes the retrieval of information via articles, blogs, FAQs, tutorials, and videos for your use and reference.
