Today we’re excited to announce that we’ve expanded our transport data coverage for the TravelTime API — with the addition of 12 new countries now supported by our API.
The TravelTime API lets you search locations by travel time using your preferred mode of transportation. Because you’re able to search thousands of locations at a time with the API, having the data to support the coverage of as many locations as possible is a crucial part of making such a search possible.
Adding new countries to our API means that our users can now create travel time isochrones, generate distance and travel time matrices and visualise all reachable locations within a time limit, in even more countries than before.
Which new countries are now available?
The following 12 countries are now available through our API:
