Discover now on PRIM the Traffic Info Messages API - Global Query
The dynamic data catalogue has been enriched with a new API, fed by traffic information messages on the Île-de-France Mobilités network.
Discover it by clicking right here.
Why this new API?
Since 20 March 2024, a limit on the number of results returned per query has been set up on the current Ile-de-France Mobilités Calculator - Traffic Info Messages API. To lighten the load on PRIM's servers, users are limited to 100 results. At the query level, this means that the count parameter is now capped at 100. The only way to get more than 100 results is to make several paginated queries.
As we did for the next few visits, we have set up a Bulk Request API for traffic information messages: you can now query all traffic information in a single request on this new API!
How does it work?
Unlike the Île-de-France Mobilités - Traffic Messages Calculator API, this data feeds directly into the Île-de-France Mobilités media. Also, to use this API, no parameters are required.
Notable advantages:
The advantage of the Global Traffic Info Query is that it offers a more refined response in terms of the number of fields, less voluminous and with the same data quality as the Île-de-France Mobilités - Traffic Info Messages Calculator API. One of the key features of this new API is its ability to provide all traffic information in a single request. This promises increased performance, making it possible to obtain all the necessary data quickly and efficiently!
To better understand this Île-de-France Mobilités API and the precautions for use, do not hesitate to consult the PRIM Functional Documentation - Getting started with the IT Messages API - RG, available on the "Need help" page of the PRIM portal.
Remember to share your data reuses with us via the #réutilisations-data channel of the Slack of the "PRIM community" which you can join by following this link.
Of course, we remain available to support you on this change and answer your questions at [email protected] and on Slack.
