Logistics and fleet operations

Watch road closures, strikes and blockades reported by public sources along your routes and around your depots.

What you get

• GeoJSON events through the free API with bbox and type filters (for example closures and gatherings).
• Webhooks for new alerts that match a filter.
• Official national road events for France combined with news-based alerts.

How to start

• Request /api/v1/events?format=geojson&bbox=minLon,minLat,maxLon,maxLat&type=closure and refresh every few minutes.
• Create a free key at /developers for 600 requests per minute (anonymous use is 60 per minute).

Limits

• Coverage is uneven between countries and depends on public sources; do not rely on it as your only source for routing decisions.
• alerts.live is descriptive and informational. It is not an official source, not an emergency service and gives no safety score for any place.
• Alerts are detected automatically in public sources and can be wrong or late. Each one shows its sources and a confidence score so you can judge it; see the methodology.
• Absence of alerts does not mean absence of events. Coverage depends on what public sources publish.
