NA Output Polygon Detailed - The job request for
Service
service allows you to specify different break values per facility by specifying theAreas Breaks
attribute of the input facilities. For example, given two facilities, this means you can generate 5- and 10-minute service area polygons for one facility and 6-, 9-, and 12-minute polygons for another facility. In previous versions, the same break values were applied to all the facilities. - All the services that support job request support a new parameter,
output
, that allows you to obtain all the outputs as a single file. This is especially useful when the request can generate large result. For example, if you are working with the_format Generate
service and you generate a travel matrix with 1,000 origins and 1,000 destinations such that the result contains 1,000,000 records, returning such a large output as a Feature Set can cause the service to fail since the service will try to send the entire output in a single attempt. With a file based output, the service sends the output in multiple chunks reducing the possibility of timeouts when returning the outputs.Origin Destination Cost Matrix - The
Origin
service allows you to create the results as CSV files. Refer to the documentation for the output_format parameter for details.Destination Cost Matrix - All the services that support job request support
