pywaze

Asynchronous Waze client for calculating routes and travel times.

Based on WazeRouteCalculator

Installation

uv add pywaze

Usage

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import asyncio
from pywaze import route_calculator


async def get_time(start: str, end: str) -> float:
    """Return the travel time home."""

    async with route_calculator.WazeRouteCalculator() as client:
        results = await client.calc_routes(start, end)
        first_route = results[0]
        return first_route.duration


start = "50.00332659227126,8.262322651915843"
end = "50.08414976707619,8.247836017342934"

travel_time = asyncio.run(get_time(start, end))

print(travel_time)

Address resolving base coordinates

When one or both endpoints are addresses, calc_routes() resolves them via Waze search. You can provide custom base coordinates to make sure Waze tries to resolve the address near those coordinates:

await client.calc_routes(start, end, base_coords=(48.137154, 11.576124))

If base_coords is omitted and exactly one endpoint is already coordinates, that coordinate endpoint is used automatically as base coordinates for resolving the address.
