PTV Flows API
Real-time traffic data API
Bring the power of real-time and historical traffic insights directly into your systems with the PTV Flows API. Designed for developers, integrators, and mobility innovators, our traffic data API delivers high-quality traffic data from the past, the now and the future in a format that’s easy to use and quick to deploy.
What is the PTV Flows API?
PTV Flows API is a REST-based interface that provides access to high-quality traffic data for seamless integration into your own applications and systems. It delivers:
- real-time and historical traffic conditions
- self-updating traffic forecasts (up to 60 minutes ahead), leveraging the power of Machine Learning
- predictive alerts for incidents and threshold violations
- key insights such as speed profiles, congestion levels, and corridor travel times
With global coverage, automatic map-matching, and simple JSON outputs, PTV Flows API enables fast, scalable development of traffic management, smart city, logistics, and mobility analytics solutions — without the need to maintain your own traffic data infrastructure.
