How To Use Waze API

[ans-4175]

Hey, I see you are using waze api with somekind of token and partner_name. How do you obtain that?

The endpoint for the Providence data is the URL on line 18 of waze2db.php:

Waze2db/waze2db.php

Line 18 in d493187

$url = 'https://na-georss.waze.com/rtserver/web/TGeoRSS?tk=ccp_partner&ccp_partner_name=Providence&format=JSON&types=alerts&polygon=-71.440487,41.866467;-71.374741,41.858029;-71.375427,41.828744;-71.395512,41.810450;-71.373367,41.785033;-71.405811,41.764486;-71.445465,41.786057;-71.446238,41.801095;-71.489410,41.817281;-71.440487,41.866467;-71.440487,41.866467';

I didn't figure that out on my own. Somebody from Providence City Hall shared it with me at a hackathon a few years ago.

To get data like this in your geographic area, you'll need to be in a Waze partner city:
