Travel Time Matrix (Postcodes)anchor icon

Find reachable postcodes from origin (or to destination) and get statistics about such postcodes. Currently only supports United Kingdom.

Request Bodyanchor icon

array[object]

Searches based on departure time. Leave departure location at no earlier than given time. You can define a maximum of 10 searches.

Maximum journey time (in seconds).
Maximum value is 14400 (4 hours) as standard. To discuss increasing this, please contact sales@traveltime.com.

date in extended ISO-8601 format

Leave departure location at no earlier than given time. In ISO 8601 format. For example:
2024-03-26T15:00:00Z (representing UTC)
2024-03-26T15:00:00-05:00 (representing New York on Standard Time: UTC-05:00)

Transportation mode and related parameters. The default parameters are sensible and it is usually enough to only specify the type.

Show child attributes

cycling, driving, driving+train (only in Great Britain), public_transport, walking, coach, bus, train, ferry, driving+ferry, cycling+ferry or cycling+public_transport (only in Netherlands).

If set to true, the crossing of country borders is disabled. Only available with the driving transportation mode, and is enabled by default (false).

Time in seconds needed to board public transportation vehicle.
Default is 0.
Cannot be higher than travel_time.
Used in public_transport, coach, bus, train, driving+train and cycling+public_transport transportation modes.

Upper limit for the number of changes between public transit legs in a journey.
Used in public_transport, coach, bus, train, driving+train and cycling+public_transport transportation modes. For other modes the max_changes parameter is ignored.

Enable transit leg change limit?

Maximum number of changes between transit legs in a journey. Must be at least 0.

Maximum time (in seconds) allowed for walking at the start and end of a public transport journey. i.e:

  • the maximum walking time from the origin to the first stop/station, and
  • the maximum walking time from the final stop/station to the destination

These limits are independent and not cumulative. They only apply to the first and last walking legs of the journey - all walking times between public transport legs are limited to 600s (10 minutes) each.

The default value is 900.

Cannot be higher than travel_time.

Used in public_transport, coach, bus, train, driving+train and cycling+public_transport transportation modes.

Maximum time (in seconds) allowed for driving from the origin to the train station.
Default value is 1800.
Cannot be higher than travel_time.
Used only in driving+train transportation mode.

Maximum time (in seconds) allowed for cycling (including any ferry transfers) from from the origin to the first stop/station.
Default value is 900.
Cannot be higher than travel_time.
Used only in cycling+public_transport transportation mode.

Time in seconds required to park a car or a bicycle.
Default value is 300.
Cannot be higher than travel_time.
Used in driving+train and cycling+public_transport transportation modes.

Time in seconds required to board a ferry.
Default value is 0.
Cannot be higher than travel_time.
Used in public_transport, ferry, driving+ferry, cycling+ferry and cycling+public_transport transportation modes. For public_transport mode, pt_change_delay is used instead.

Properties to be returned about the postcodes. Possible values: travel_time, distance

When enabled, range adds a departure window to the departure time, and results are returned for any journeys that depart during this window.
In the results array, the properties of these multiple alternative results are sorted by travel_time in ascending order.
Disabled by default.
Used in public_transport, coach, bus, train, driving+train and cycling+public_transport transportation modes. For other modes range search parameters are ignored.

Enable range search?

Maximum number of results to return. Limited to 5 results.

When enabled, range adds an arrival window to the arrival time, and results are returned for any journeys that arrive during this window.

Disabled by default.
Used in public_transport, coach, bus, train, driving+train and cycling+public_transport transportation modes. For other modes the parameter is ignored.
