TravelTime H3 API

Real-world travel time indexed to H3 — built for scalable spatial analysis, search, and decision-making.

Your new approach to spatial search,
mapping, and analysis

❯01. Millions of travel times, zero lag

❯02. Plug into your data warehouse

❯03. Cache with freedom

TravelTime H3 is the fastest way to calculate, display, and filter multimodal travel times. Process millions of locations in milliseconds with no heavy compute.

Integrate our SDK and deploy directly in Elastic, Snowflake, or your platform of choice. Instant accurate travel times without architectural overhauls.

Eliminate the need for repeat calculations. Deliver faster responses for users and reduce load on your systems.

With TravelTime H3, customers report a 96–99% reduction in processing time across data preparation, spatial joins, and enrichment—without sacrificing accuracy.

❯04. Spatial storytelling made simple

❯05. Layer with other datasets

❯06. More than a catchment area

H3 cells turn complex geographies into a consistent grid that’s easy to query, filter, and compare.

Identify density, overlap, and whitespace with simple aggregations, not expensive polygon intersections.

TravelTime H3 returns travel-time metrics per cell — not just a single boundary line.

"With TravelTime H3, we went from rendering complex polygons to a simple, elegant hex grid that clicks with users. It's easier to process, easier to filter, and way faster to display."
Daniel CooperCo-Founder and CTO

❯07. Real-world accessibility

❯08. Best-in-class accuracy

❯09. Hyperlocal and global insights

TravelTime H3 delivers multimodal travel time insights for true proximity analysis.

TravelTime journey times are powered by real-world data, from road networks and vehicle speeds to telematics.

Use different H3 resolutions to zoom for pinpoint insights and zoom out for broader trends.

Why teams are moving from polygons to H3

Spatial questions evolve as your data grows. What starts as, “Is this point inside this boundary?” quickly becomes:

  • Which location is fastest to reach?
  • How much do service areas overlap?
  • Where are the gaps in coverage?
  • How does accessibility change by transport mode?

Traditional workflows weren’t built for this level of scale or iteration. TravelTime H3 is.
