There is a product from Mapzen that I have never seen anywhere else : Isochrones (https://mapzen.com/documentation/mobility/isochrone/api-reference/ https://mapzen.com/documentation/mobility/isochrone/api-refe...).
Been interested in this for years (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9403699/map-of-all-points-below-a-certain-time-of-travel https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9403699/map-of-all-point...) They were the only ones to provide a solution.
I am super sad to see this go and still haven't seen any alternative.
Happy to hear about anything in this direction :s.
- merusame 9y agoopenrouteservice.org has them also, rest API also available
- rburhum 9y agoAhem: - GRASS has had that since the 80s: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/addons/r.traveltime.html https://grass.osgeo.org/grass72/manuals/addons/r.traveltime.... - ESRI has had those in web form since the 90s: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/analyze/create-drive-time-areas.htm https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/analyze/create-drive... - GeoTrellis has that working in an open source project on top of a Spark cluster: https://transit.geotrellis.io/travelshed.html https://transit.geotrellis.io/travelshed.html
- jlengrand 9y agoWell, yes I can create isochrones myself indeed. What I meant is the ability to generate them via an API without having to handle any GIS / routing data yourself and this for any city. Handling these kind of services takes a lot of time, especially if this is only a sub-part of a more generic product. Thanks for the alternatives though
- rburhum 9y agoThe second option can be hosted at ArcGIS Online without you doing anything (i.e. loading anything). It is a REST API. Yes, it is hidden in their stupid docs. The third option is faster than anything else, but would require you to load planet-osm.
- jlengrand 9y agoHa, didn't know that. I'll look deeper into the docs then. Thanks!
- nbrigmon 9y ago100% agree. I used their isochrone API several times for consulting work.

- jlengrand 9y agoha, nice alternatives! I didn't know about graphhopper thanks! I'll be looking into them.
- karussell 9y agoThanks for mentioning this. Also keep in mind that mapzen its isochrone API: https://github.com/valhalla/valhalla https://github.com/valhalla/valhalla as well as ours is open source: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/pull/1237 https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/pull/1237
- aglionby 9y agoMapnificent [0] seems to do something similar and I had some fun playing around with it for my city. It doesn't seem to go into as much detail as Mapzen and doesn't have an API, but it's open source. [0] https://www.mapnificent.net https://www.mapnificent.net

- DanFau 9y agoOalley [0] is a simple tool to draw isochrones and the REST API is available here: https://api.oalley.fr/ https://api.oalley.fr/ [0] http://oalley.net/ http://oalley.net/ disclaimer: I developed Oalley
