isochrone_pois: Issue a walkalytics isochrone query

In walkalytics: Interface to the 'Walkalytics' API for Calculating Walking Isochrones

Description

isochrone_pois calls the walkalytics isochrone API which calculates the walking times from a source location and to a given set of points-of-interest (POIs).

Usage

isochrone_pois(x, y, epsg = 3857, max_min = 1000, pois,
  key = "my_walkalytics_key")

Arguments

x	x-coordinate of the source location (coordinate system is WGS/84 Pseudo Mercator).
y	y-coordinate of the source location (coordinate system is WGS/84 Pseudo Mercator).
epsg	EPSG code for coordinate system of the x- and y-coordinate.
max_min	maximum number of minutes for the isochrone.
pois	a data.frame to specify a set of points-of-interest (POIs). The API calculates the duration time for walking from the source location to each POI. The following columns are required: x x-coordinate of the source location (EPSG:3857). y y-coordinate of the source location (EPSG:3857). id name of POI (optional)
key	your walkalytics subscription key which provides access to the API.

Details

To get an API key, you need to register at https://dev.walkalytics.com/signin. With the free starter account, you can make up to 100 calls a week to the API.

Value

The response object from the request. Use pois_walktimes to directly extract the walking times between the source location and the points-of-interest.

Examples

# Generate set of POIs
x <- c(895777, 896044, 895639)
y <- c(6004833, 6004886, 6005147)
id <- c("pupil1", "pupil2", "pupil3")
pupils <- data.frame(x = x, y = y, id = id)

# Issue query
isochrone_pois(x = 895815, y = 6004839, pois = pupils, key = "abcd1234")
