Overview

The Isochrones API calculates the area that a person can reach from a specific origin point within a set amount of time. Unlike a radius, which measures a straight-line distance, an isochrone accounts for actual road network travel times to create a polygon that represents true reachability.

Common use cases include:

  • Delivery logistics: Determine which customers are servable within 30 minutes of a warehouse.
  • Real estate: Find properties within a 45-minute commute of a workplace.
  • Urban planning: Analyze the accessibility of essential services like hospitals or grocery stores.
