# Waze Route & City Monitor (`mai_amm/waze-route-city-monitor`) Actor Monitor Waze traffic alerts and jams across multiple city areas and route corridors with one dataset item per incident, jam, or route summary. - **URL**: https://apify.com/mai\_amm/waze-route-city-monitor.md - **Developed by:** [wiseld\_squid](https://apify.com/mai_amm) (community) - **Categories:** News, Social media, Travel - **Stats:** 3 total users, 2 monthly users, 57.1% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $5.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Waze Route & City Monitor Extract real-time Waze traffic alerts and jams around city centers or any custom coordinates. The Actor returns one dataset item per alert or traffic jam so results are easy to filter, schedule, export, and price per event. ### What It Gets - Public Waze traffic 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. - City and custom coordinate monitoring with configurable radius and max items. ### 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. Cloud-tested public live-map mode: Paris, London, Bangkok, and New York. ### Input Example ```json { "cityPresets": ["paris"], "includeAlerts": true, "includeTrafficJams": true, "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output Example ```json { "recordType": "jam", "monitorName": "Bangkok", "type": "JAM", "street": "Rama IX Road", "city": "Bangkok", "country": "TH", "level": 4, "severity": "Severe", "speedKmh": 7.2, "delayMinutes": 8.5, "lengthMeters": 1300, "latitude": 13.75, "longitude": 100.56, "source": "waze", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-12T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Proxy Notes For best results, use Apify Residential proxy. Leave proxy country unset first; set `apifyProxyCountry` only if a specific region performs better. ### 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 The Actor calls `Actor.pushData()` once per saved alert or traffic jam. If the Actor is monetized with Apify default dataset item events, every saved dataset item can be charged. # Actor input Schema ## `cityPresets` (type: `array`): Pick one or more ready-made city centers. For other cities, use Custom locations below. ## `locations` (type: `array`): Optional. Add any city or area by coordinates. Radius is in km. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of alerts and jams to save. ## `includeAlerts` (type: `boolean`): Accidents, hazards, police reports, road closures, and similar Waze alerts. ## `includeTrafficJams` (type: `boolean`): Traffic jams with speed, delay, severity, length, and route geometry when available. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential proxy is recommended. Leave country unset first. ## Actor input object example ```json { "cityPresets": [ "paris" ], "locations": [ { "name": "Bangkok CBD", "latitude": 13.7563, "longitude": 100.5018, "radiusKm": 8 } ], "maxItems": 100, "includeAlerts": true, "includeTrafficJams": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `trafficData` (type: `string`): Dataset items containing Waze alerts and traffic jams. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
