Origin/Destination API Overview

The Origin/Destination API uses the queryType parameter to allow a single endpoint to return various distinct data sets.

This API uses the queryType parameter to retrieve data. Request information in the API call, such as Route Analysis or O/D Segment Analysis, and it returns that specific set of results. Each query type is a distinct request.
