TomTom

Put TomTom's maps to work: search for places and addresses anywhere in the world, turn written addresses into coordinates and coordinates back into addresses, find everything of a given kind around a point, plan routes for cars, trucks, bikes or on foot with live traffic and a departure or arrival time, work out everywhere reachable inside a time or distance budget, and read the crashes, jams, closures and road works happening around any place right now.

Actions

Action	What it does
Calculate a reachable range	Everywhere you can get to from one place inside a time or distance budget: a drive-time area, sometimes called an isochrone.
Calculate a route	Plan a route between two places, with any number of stops along the way, and get back the distance, the travel time with live traffic, how much of that time is delay, and where the delay is.
Geocode a structured address	Geocode an address that is already split into fields: street number, street, city, state, postcode, rather than written on one line.
Geocode an address	Turn a written address or place name into coordinates, with the address parsed into its parts and a confidence score for the match.
Get traffic incidents	The crashes, jams, closures and road works around a place right now, worst delay first, each with what happened, which road it is on, how long the delay is and how long it is expected to last.
List place categories	TomTom's whole catalogue of place categories, with the id each one is filtered by, the names it also goes by, and the sub-categories under it.
Reverse geocode coordinates	Turn a latitude and longitude back into a street address, broken into its parts.
Search nearby	What is around a coordinate, nearest first, with the distance to each one.
Search places	Search TomTom's map for anything written as words: a business name, an address, a street, a city, or a mix of them.
Search places by category	Every place of a given kind in an area: all the petrol stations within 5 km, all the hotels in a city, all the EV charging points along a corridor.

Calculate a reachable range

Everywhere you can get to from one place inside a time or distance budget: a drive-time area, sometimes called an isochrone. The answer to 'which customers are within 30 minutes of this depot', 'how far can this van get before its next stop', or 'draw the catchment area of this branch'. Returns the boundary as a list of coordinates plus the box that contains it, so it can be drawn on a map or tested against a list of addresses. The start takes an address or coordinates; the budget defaults to 30 minutes by car.

Inputs

Calculate a route

Plan a route between two places, with any number of stops along the way, and get back the distance, the travel time with live traffic, how much of that time is delay, and where the delay is. Start, end and stops each take a plain address or coordinates, and an address is geocoded for you. Choose the vehicle (car, truck, bus, bicycle, on foot and more), what to optimise for, roads to avoid, a departure or arrival time, and whether to have the stops reordered into the shortest trip.

List place categories

TomTom's whole catalogue of place categories, with the id each one is filtered by, the names it also goes by, and the sub-categories under it. Use it to turn a word a workflow receives, 'pharmacy' or 'car wash', into the category id the search actions filter on, or to see what can be asked for at all. One request returns every category; the search box filters them here, over both the names and their synonyms.

Inputs

Languagelanguagetext: Optional. The language TomTom writes names and addresses in. Leave it empty for each place's local language.One of: en-GB (English (UK)), en-US (English (US)), en-AU (English (Australia)), en-NZ (English (New Zealand)), af-ZA (Afrikaans), ar (Arabic), bg-BG (Bulgarian), ca-ES (Catalan), cs-CZ (Czech), da-DK (Danish), and 36 more.

Search places

Search TomTom's map for anything written as words: a business name, an address, a street, a city, or a mix of them. Returns each match with its coordinates, full address, phone, website, categories and brands.

This is the general search: use 'Search places by category' when you want every restaurant or petrol station in an area rather than a specific one.
