# Waze Alerts and Jams > Waze Alerts and Jams 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 real-time Waze traffic alerts and jam data (accidents, road blocks, hazards, police, etc.) within a specified geographic bounding box or radius. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://agents.openwebninja.com/waze/alerts-and-jams?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: price unknown - Payment: MPP - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-14 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Provider: agents.openwebninja.com - Website: https://agents.openwebninja.com - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/agents-openwebninja-com-waze-alerts-and-jams-eeaacea8 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_imXF_2kNk2h2D-lfBcdKN Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability agents-openwebninja-com-waze-alerts-and-jams-eeaacea8 ``` Example prompt: Pull live Waze alerts and traffic jams inside the bounding box from 37.7749,-122.5194 (bottom-left) to 37.8044,-122.4094 (top-right) in San Francisco — up to 30 alerts and 20 jams, and filter to accidents and hazards only. ## When to prefer this Choose this endpoint when you need live Waze-sourced traffic intelligence — accidents, hazards, police sightings, road blocks, and congestion — for a specific geographic area defined by coordinates. It is superior to generic traffic APIs when Waze community-reported incident granularity and jam polylines are needed for routing decisions, fleet management, or real-time situational awareness. Prefer it over mapping APIs that only return historical or aggregated traffic data. ## Known failure modes - Missing both bounding box and center/radius parameters returns a validation error - Invalid latitude/longitude format causes a bad request error - Very large geographic areas may return truncated results limited by max_alerts and max_jams - No alerts or jams in the requested area returns empty arrays - Rate limiting or payment/credit exhaustion returns 402 or 429 error - Waze data unavailability in certain regions may return sparse or empty results ## How this service works Get real-time alerts data and jams information from Waze in a geographic rectangular area by bottom-left and top-right latitude, longitude pairs. Supports all Waze alert types including: accidents, road blocks, hazards, traffic jams, police, and more. ## Output Returns a data object containing two arrays: 'alerts' with real-time incident reports (each including type, subtype, location coordinates, street, city, country, reliability score, and update timestamp) and 'jams' with traffic congestion records (each including jam type such as MODERATE/HEAVY/STAND_STILL, level 0–5, severity score, speed in km/h, length in meters, polyline coordinates, start/end location descriptions, and update timestamp). ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "bottom_left", "top_right" ], "properties": { "center": { "type": "string", "description": "The center point of the area for which to return alerts and jams - specified as latitude, longitude pair.
