# HubVibe Route & Traffic Time

> HubVibe Route & Traffic Time is a paid API for AI agents from hubvibe-io.com, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-03).

Returns travel time (with and without live traffic), traffic delay, distance, and route details between two places using the Google Routes API.

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 hubvibe-route-traffic-time-60f5c290 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How long will it take to drive from downtown Chicago to O'Hare Airport this Friday at 5pm with live traffic? I want to see both the traffic and no-traffic estimates.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live traffic-aware travel time and distance between two arbitrary places (addresses, place names, or coordinates) and want structured output including both traffic and no-traffic durations plus the delay delta. Prefer this over static map distance tools when real-time traffic conditions matter, or when you need localized human-readable route text and warnings.

## Known failure modes

- Unresolvable origin or destination returns an error (ambiguous place name or geocoding failure)
- departure_time in the past causes a validation error
- Traffic data unavailable for non-DRIVE/TWO_WHEELER travel modes (traffic parameter ignored)
- Invalid RFC 3339 format for departure_time returns a schema validation error
- Google Routes API quota exceeded or service outage results in a 5xx error

## How this service works

Travel time with live traffic between two places, from the Google Routes API at call time: duration with traffic, duration without, the delay, distance, route description, warnings and advisories. Places as addresses, names or 'lat,lng'. Use it for ETAs, delivery windows and trip planning. Input: origin, destination; optional travel_mode, departure_time, traffic.

## Output

Returns duration with live traffic, duration without traffic, the delay between the two, total distance, a human-readable route description, localized text labels, and any warnings or advisories — all sourced from the Google Routes API at the time of the call.
