3️⃣ Get your first data:

curl "http://localhost:8000/jams/search?location=40.758,-73.9855"

{
  "area": { "center": { "lat": 40.758, "lng": -73.9855 }, "region": "na" },
  "count": 129,
  "jams": [
    {
      "id": 145650922,
      "street": "Lincoln Tunnel",
      "city": "Manhattan, NY",
      "severity": "standstill",
      "length_meters": 1366,
      "is_blocked": true,

    }
  ]
}

All 6 endpoints are now live at http://localhost:8000.

The first call opens a Google Chrome window: Waze only answers calls that carry a reCAPTCHA token from a real browser, and that window earns it. Leave it open. It closes by itself after 10 idle minutes. You need Google Chrome installed, and a home or office connection works best.

📚 Endpoints

6 endpoints cover everything you need.

Endpoint	Path	Returns
Live Traffic Jams	/jams/search	Every jam around a point: severity, speed, length, cause and path

🔍 Exploring Parameters

The same API is published on RapidAPI, and its playground is the easiest place to try parameters and see raw responses. Once a request looks right, run it locally for unlimited free data.

1. Subscribe to the free plan — 1,000 calls/month, no credit card.
2. Try the endpoints in the playground — every param is pre-filled, so you see real data in one click.
3. Copy the generated code and replace https://best-waze-scraper-free-1000-calls.p.rapidapi.com with http://localhost:8000. It will now run against your local API.

import requests

# generated by the playground, host swapped for the local API
response = requests.get(
    "http://localhost:8000/jams/search",
    params={"location": "40.758,-73.9855"},
)
print(response.json())
