Live Border Queue API Online

Real-time queue length, wait estimate and status for any monitored checkpoint. Includes a snapshot block: current queue (queue_now), prognosed wait time wait_min, data age and source.

GET https://nakordoni.eu/api/v1/data/queue — quota class: heavy

ParameterDescription
ppidCheckpoint ID, e.g. id_13 (see /api/v1/data/checkpoints)
sectionData section (optional)
originOrigin country code (optional)
destinationDestination country code (optional)

Response fields — inside the data object of the envelope. [] marks a list, so data.items[].name is the name field of each element. A field is null, absent or an empty list when we hold no value for it — never a placeholder.

FieldDescription
data[]Hourly series for the checkpoint, oldest first — one element per reading.
data[].timeUnix timestamp of the reading, in the checkpoint's own timezone.
data[].avg_carsVehicles in the queue at that hour.
data[].wait_timeWait in minutes at that hour.
data[].wait_time_estimatedtrue = the wait is our estimate from the queue length, not an official figure.
data[].type_of_data1 = a real observation; 2 = a forecast point (future hours). It says whether the row was measured or predicted — it carries no information about where the reading came from.
data[].data_qualityHow that row was arrived at: high = counted from a real observation source at the crossing, low = a modelled estimate where no counting source exists. Present on observation rows only (type_of_data 1) — a forecast point is predicted by definition. Same high|low vocabulary as the checkpoints directory, Border Queue and Best Time to Cross. Both are real answers; low is not an error, but it is an estimate and should be labelled as one if you show it to drivers.
snapshot.timezoneIANA zone that snapshot.updated_at is expressed in — it is the checkpoint's own local time, not one fixed zone (e.g. Europe/Istanbul for id_385, Europe/Sofia for id_390, Europe/Budapest for id_407). Use it to resolve updated_at to an absolute instant.
snapshotEnvelope-level, beside data: the current state — queue_now, wait_min, updated_at, timezone, age_min, data_quality. Read this for 'now'; data is the history behind it.
