View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Arizona 511 API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Arizona 511 API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Arizona 511 API exposes traffic and transportation data published by the Arizona Department of Transportation, including cameras, weather stations, message signs, traffic events, alerts, rest areas, and Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) work-zone data. The API is rate limited to 10 calls per 60 seconds and authenticates via an API key in the `key` query parameter.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Arizona 511 API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Freight WZDx Integration

Logistics platforms can ingest Arizona work-zone data through GET /wzdx, which serves the standard Work Zone Data Exchange format used by freight TMS and routing engines. This lets dispatchers route around construction with up-to-date geometry and timing. Suited to fleet operators and Class-8 routing tools.

Call GET /wzdx and feed the resulting WZDx feature collection into the fleet's routing engine for the day's planning

Road-Conditions Briefing

Traveller-information apps can produce a road-conditions briefing by combining /endpoint/cameras, /endpoint/weatherstations, /endpoint/event, and /endpoint/alerts. The combined view tells drivers what is open, where weather is poor, and where incidents are slowing traffic. Suited to commuter apps and corporate travel briefings.

Call GET /endpoint/event and GET /endpoint/alerts and produce a one-paragraph road-conditions briefing covering Phoenix-Tucson and Phoenix-Flagstaff corridors

Rest-Area and Trip Planning

Travel apps and RV planners can plot rest stops on a planned Arizona route by calling /endpoint/restareas and overlaying weather conditions from /endpoint/weatherstations. The combination allows pre-trip checks for long-haul routes through desert and mountain terrain. Suited to RV and tourism apps.

Fetch GET /endpoint/restareas and select the three closest rest stops to a planned overnight stop near Flagstaff

Agent-Driven Travel Briefings via Jentic

An assistant agent can build a morning Arizona road briefing through Jentic by chaining the events, alerts, weather, and rest-area endpoints, all without holding the AZ511 API key. The 10-calls-per-60-seconds rate limit fits comfortably inside the briefing cadence. Suited to commuter copilots and corporate travel summaries.

Search Jentic for 'arizona traffic alerts', load GET /endpoint/alerts, and execute it as part of a morning briefing summarising statewide road conditions

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The Arizona 511 API key is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and injected into the `key` query parameter at call time. The raw key never enters the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'arizona work zones' or 'arizona traffic alerts') and Jentic returns the matching AZ511 operations with their input schemas attached.

Time to first call

Direct Arizona 511 integration: a few hours to wire key handling and a polling loop within the 10-per-minute limit. Through Jentic: minutes to call /endpoint/alerts, /wzdx, or /endpoint/cameras with no key handling code.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

AZ511 Traffic Data API

Same Arizona DOT traffic data published under the .com domain with v2 path layout.

Use the .com entry when calls go to az511.com/api/v2; use this .gov entry for the /endpoint and /wzdx layout.

Alternative

New York 511 API

Equivalent state 511 traffic feed for New York instead of Arizona.

Pick 511ny when the route is in New York; pick AZ511 for Arizona-specific traffic and WZDx data.

Complementary

HERE Maps API

HERE Maps provides routing and base maps that overlay well with state 511 traffic feeds.

Use HERE alongside AZ511 when the agent needs to compute routes and render base maps with AZ511 events and work zones overlaid.

FAQs

Specific to using Arizona 511 API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Arizona 511 API?

ADOT does not publish an OpenAPI specification for the AZ511 feed. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Arizona 511 API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Arizona 511 API use?

The Arizona 511 API uses an API key passed in the `key` query parameter. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the vault and added to the query string at call time so it never reaches the agent context.

Can I get WZDx work-zone data with the Arizona 511 API?

Yes. GET /wzdx returns work-zone data in the standard Work Zone Data Exchange format, which is widely consumed by freight TMS and routing engines.

What are the rate limits for the Arizona 511 API?

The Arizona 511 API is rate limited to 10 calls per 60 seconds, as documented in the spec. Plan polling cadence and batched briefings around that limit and back off on 429 responses.

How do I get current Arizona traffic alerts through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'arizona traffic alerts', load GET /endpoint/alerts, and execute it. Jentic injects the API key from the vault and returns the active alerts list.

Is the Arizona 511 API free?

ADOT publishes the feed for public-information use and provides API keys on request via the AZ511 developer site. Confirm any commercial-use terms directly with ADOT.
