Integration Guide
Integrate Travel Time Search and Reachability
Implement commute search, reachability analysis, and travel time scores. GeoSci ratings deliver travel times by foot, bike, and car as ready-made features.
- travel_mode API
- Foot / Bike / Car
- Ratings as Features
The Problem
Teams want reachability instead of air-line distance: "30 minutes to work", "10 minutes to the supermarket on foot". This requires travel time APIs, isochrone polygons, and integrating this data as search and ranking features.
How GeoSci Helps
GeoSci ratings include reachability information via the travel_mode parameter. Instead of building your own routing engine, you get pre-computed scores that factor in travel times to relevant POIs.
API Example
# Ratings with walking travel times
curl "https://api.geosci.de/places/13.405,52.52/ratings?travel_mode=foot" \
--header "Authorization: Apikey $GEOSCI_API_KEY"
# Ratings with cycling travel times
curl "https://api.geosci.de/places/13.405,52.52/ratings?travel_mode=bike" \
--header "Authorization: Apikey $GEOSCI_API_KEY"Integration Patterns
- Commute search: Use GeoSci ratings as a feature vector for ranking. Combinable with isochrone providers (Mapbox, HERE, TravelTime) for polygon-based filtering.
- Listing enrichment: Display travel times to important POIs directly in the listing instead of air-line distances.
- Travel mode comparison: Query the same address with different travel_modes to compare foot/bike/car scores.
