Traffic Alerts - Live Incident Lookup by Bounding Box
Traffic Alerts - Live Incident Lookup by Bounding Box is a paid API for AI agents from agents.openwebninja.com, paid per call via MPP, price unknown, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-14).
Returns live traffic incidents (accidents, construction, road closures, and generic slowdowns) within a geographic bounding box defined by two corner coordinates and a zoom level.

How this service works
Returns live traffic incidents (accidents, construction zones, road closures, and other slowdowns) within the bounding box defined by two corner coordinates. Each alert includes its incident type and precise latitude/longitude. The bounding box area is capped per `zoom` level (higher zoom returns finer detail over a smaller maximum area). To scan a larger area, use a lower zoom level.
Output
A JSON object containing the count of traffic alerts found and an array of incidents, each with an incident type (road_closed, construction, accident, or incident) and precise latitude/longitude coordinates. Also includes echoed request parameters and a unique request ID for tracing.
Example use cases
Pre-commute route safety check
“Before I head out, can you check for any live accidents, road closures, or construction between the bottom-left corner 37.74,-122.50 and top-right corner 37.81,-122.39 in San Francisco using zoom 13?”
Event traffic disruption monitoring
“I'm managing logistics for a large event near downtown Chicago — can you scan for all active traffic incidents in the bounding box from 41.85,-87.65 to 41.90,-87.61 at zoom level 14 so I can reroute vehicles if needed?”
City-wide traffic incident overview
“Give me a broad overview of all road incidents across the greater Los Angeles metro area — use coordinates 33.70,-118.65 for bottom-left and 34.20,-118.15 for top-right at zoom level 11 to cover the whole region.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/google-maps-traffic-alerts/traffic-alerts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, geolocated traffic incident data (accidents, closures, construction) for a specific rectangular area on a map. It is ideal for route planning, logistics monitoring, event management, and map-based dashboards that need structured JSON incident data with precise coordinates. Prefer it over general directions APIs when you specifically need incident awareness rather than turn-by-turn routing.
Side effects
- Bounding box area exceeds the maximum allowed for the chosen zoom level — reduce the box size or lower the zoom
- Invalid coordinate format for bottom_left or top_right — must be 'latitude,longitude' strings
- Zoom level outside allowed range 11–16 — returns validation error
- No incidents found in the area — returns empty alerts array with count of 0
- Upstream Google Maps data unavailable — may return error status
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| zoom | integer | Google Maps zoom level for the scan - the same zoom value Google Maps uses (higher is more zoomed in, returning finer detail over a smaller maximum area). Each zoom level has a maximum bounding-box area; to cover a larger area, use a lower zoom level. **Allowed values:** `11-16` **Maximum area per zoom:** - zoom 11: 8000 km² - zoom 12: 2000 km² - zoom 13: 500 km² (default) - zoom 14: 125 km² - zoom 15: 30 km² - zoom 16: 8 km² **Default:** `13` |
| top_rightrequired | string | Top-right (north-east) corner of the area to scan, as `latitude,longitude`. The total box area is capped per `zoom` level (see the `zoom` parameter). **Example:** `40.81,-73.87` |
| bottom_leftrequired | string | Bottom-left (south-west) corner of the area to scan, as `latitude,longitude`. The total box area is capped per `zoom` level (see the `zoom` parameter). **Example:** `40.63,-74.10` |
