Destination types

Every travel-time route filters by destination type, using the numeric type ids below. Look them up live and free at GET /v1/meta/destination-types (the SDKs return it as a data frame); this page is a readable copy so you can browse what is available. The live endpoint is always authoritative.

Leaf and parent types

A leaf type is one concrete amenity, such as grocery stores or high schools. A parent type is a grouping that expands to several leaves when you filter on it. Filtering by parks (a parent) returns rows for all four park-size leaves, which is four times the rows, and so four times the tokens, of a single leaf. When you want one amenity, filter by its leaf.
