Waze Route & City Monitor

Extract real-time Waze traffic alerts and jams from authorized Waze partner feeds, with a quick sample mode for Apify quality checks.

The Actor starts in free preview mode. Preview mode saves up to 50 redacted traffic items in the PREVIEW key-value store record and does not write full rows to the default dataset. Full paid dataset mode is available to Apify paid-plan users and returns one dataset item per alert, traffic jam, or route summary so results are easy to filter, schedule, export, and price per event.

What It Gets

• Waze partner feed alerts: accidents, hazards, police, construction, road closures, and other incident reports.
• Traffic jams: jam level, speed, delay, length, street, city, country, and route geometry when available.
• Optional public live-map city checks, when Waze allows access from the run environment.

Supported City Presets

The Actor includes 10 ready-to-use city presets:

Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, New York, London, and Paris.

You can also add any custom latitude/longitude, so it is not limited to these cities.

Why It Is Different

Most Waze scrapers query one center point and save one large combined record. This Actor is built for monitoring and pay-per-result datasets:

• Multiple city presets or custom locations in one run.
• Deduplication across overlapping areas.
• Separate dataset items instead of one large combined output record.

For reliable live data, use authorized Waze Data Feed / partner feed URLs. Public live-map endpoints can return 403 Forbidden from cloud infrastructure and should not be treated as a dependable production source.

Proxy Notes

Authorized partner feeds are the preferred live source. Public live-map access may be blocked with 403 Forbidden even when residential proxies are used.

Scheduling

Traffic data is a point-in-time snapshot. For monitoring, schedule the Actor:

• Every 5 minutes for high-coverage incident monitoring.
• Every 10 minutes for normal city dashboards.
• Every 30 minutes for lightweight trend tracking.

Pricing Note

Preview mode does not call Actor.pushData() and does not trigger default dataset item events.

Full paid dataset mode calls Actor.pushData() once per saved alert, traffic jam, or route summary. If the Actor is monetized with Apify default dataset item events, every saved dataset item can be charged.
