Isochrones (Fast)

A very fast version of Isochrone API. However, the request parameters are much more limited. Supported countries list available here.

Currently supports only POST requests

Request Body

Searches based on arrival time. Arrive at a destination or multiple destinations at no later than given time.

Hide child attributes

This returns the reachable area for journeys arriving at the chosen arrival location. You can define a maximum of 10 searches.

Hide child attributes

Used to identify each search in the results array. Must be unique among all searches.

Coordinates of the arrival location.

Possible values: public_transport, walking+ferry, cycling+ferry, driving+ferry, driving+public_transport.

Note - a driving+public_transport search is for driving then public transport (i.e driving to a stop/station and continuing by public transport). The driving leg of the journey is limited to maximum 30 minutes."

Possible values: weekday_morning

Maximum journey time (in seconds).
Maximum value is 10800 (3 hours) as standard. To discuss increasing this, please contact sales@traveltime.com.

Specifies level of detail of returned shape.

Show child attributes
  • simple - level of detail is specified using a simple enumeration.
  • simple_numeric - level of detail is specified using integer numbers. This scale is an extension of simple scale.
  • coarse_grid - level of detail is specified as a number, used to simplify the generated shape to a set grid density.

Exact availability depends on the licence plan.

Can either be a string or an integer depending on scale_type used.

  • Available options when using string: lowest, low, medium, high, highest. Used with simple scale type. Returned shape will be the least detailed with the lowest setting, and the most detailed with the highest setting.

  • Available options when using integer are between -20 and 2. Used with simple_numeric scale type. The lower the number, the less detailed the returned shape will be. Values from -2 to 2 are equivalent to the lowest to highest values of the simple scale type.

Used with the coarse_grid scale type.
Specifies the side length (in metres) of the squares used to construct the shape. The larger the value, the less detailed the returned shape will be.
Minimum value is 600.

Specifies polygon filter of a single shape.

Show child attributes

At most this amount of largest polygons will be returned in a single shape. Must be greater than 0.

Enable to remove holes from returned polygons.
Note that this will likely result in loss in accuracy.

  • approximate_time_filter (default) - the shape matches time-filter results as much as possible
  • road_buffering - the shape looks as if traversed roads of the search have been painted over with a wide brush

Adjusts the process of looking up the nearest roads from the departure / arrival points.

Show child attributes
  • enabled (default) - walking time and distance from the departure location to the nearest road and from the nearest road to the arrival location are added to the total travel time and distance of a journey.
  • disabled - these walking times and distances are not added to the total reported values (i.e the journey effectively starts and ends at the nearest points on the road network).
  • both_drivable_and_walkable (default) - journey can only start or end on roads that are accessible by both: cars and pedestrians. This effectively means journeys can not start / end on motorways.
  • any_drivable - journey can start or end on any road accessible by a car (including motorways).

This returns the reachable area for journeys departing from the chosen departure location. You can define a maximum of 10 searches.
