Start speed per segment job

Creates a job to generate a speed per segment analysis. Returns speed metrics (spot speed, travel speed, free-flow speed, percentiles, observed count) for each individual road segment in the input, rather than aggregating across the corridor.

Request Body

Analysis parameters.

application/json: object

Name	Type	Input Shape	Values	Description	Value Required
`aggregationPeriod`	object	unit: string; value: integer (int64)	-	Aggregation interval for the analysis. Set unit to '*' for a full-period summary, or 'hour'/'week' for time-series breakdowns.	Y
`dateFrom`	string	-	-	First date of the analysis range, formatted as yyyy-mm-dd.	Y
`dateTo`	string	-	-	Last date of the analysis range, formatted as yyyy-mm-dd.	Y
`daysOfWeek`	array<integer (int64)>	-	-	Days of the week to include (1=Sunday … 7=Saturday). An empty array includes all days.	N
`excludeServiceRoads`	boolean	-	-	When true, service road categories are excluded from results.	N
`isDirectional`	boolean	-	-	When true, one record is returned per direction of travel; when false, results are averaged across both directions.	Y
`isMetric`	boolean	-	-	When true, speeds are returned in km/h; when false, in mph. Defaults to the isMetric setting on the authenticated user's profile when omitted.	N
`jobId`	string	-	-	Optional job identifier in the format its_<unixMillis>_<11-char alphanumeric> (e.g. its_1234567890123_abcde123456). Generated by the server when omitted.	N
`percentiles`	array<integer (int64)>	-	-	Percentile values to compute (1–99). Defaults to [15, 50, 85] when omitted.	N
`roadTypes`	array<RoadType>	-	living_street, motorway, motorway_link, primary, primary_link, residential, road, secondary, secondary_link, service, tertiary, tertiary_link, trunk, trunk_link, unclassified	OSM road types to include. Must contain at least one value.	Y
`timeFrom`	string	-	-	Start of the time-of-day range, formatted as hh:mm:ss. Defaults to 00:00:00 when omitted.	N
`timeTo`	string	-	-	End of the time-of-day range, formatted as hh:mm:ss.999. Defaults to 23:59:59.999 when omitted.	N
`vehicleClassIds`	array<string>	-	-	Vehicle class filter IDs from GET /api/v2/filters/vehicle-classes. IDs must use the scheme_vehicleClassIndex_categoryIndex format and share one scheme. An empty array includes all vehicle classes.	N
`vehicleClassSchemeId`	integer	-	-	Vehicle classification scheme, from 1 through 5. Defaults to 2 (FHWA/GVWR) when omitted.	N
`vehicleClasses`	array<object>	vehicleType: string; weightClass: string	-	Vehicle class filters. Use an empty array to include all vehicle classes.	N
`zoneIds`	array<string>	-	-	Encoded zone ID strings. Provide exactly one of zoneIds or zones (not both).	N
`zones`	array<object>	code: string; iso_3166_2: string; type: string	-	Zone objects with code, type, and iso_3166_2. Provide exactly one of zones or zoneIds (not both).	N
