For Agents

Pull live Arizona traffic, weather, alerts, rest areas, and WZDx work-zone data from the state 511 feed. Suited to agents that brief travellers and freight planners on Arizona road conditions.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Arizona 511 API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Arizona 511 API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Arizona 511 API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Freight WZDx Integration

Logistics platforms can ingest Arizona work-zone data through GET /wzdx, which serves the standard Work Zone Data Exchange format used by freight TMS and routing engines. This lets dispatchers route around construction with up-to-date geometry and timing. Suited to fleet operators and Class-8 routing tools.

Call GET /wzdx and feed the resulting WZDx feature collection into the fleet's routing engine for the day's planning

Road-Conditions Briefing

Traveller-information apps can produce a road-conditions briefing by combining /endpoint/cameras, /endpoint/weatherstations, /endpoint/event, and /endpoint/alerts. The combined view tells drivers what is open, where weather is poor, and where incidents are slowing traffic. Suited to commuter apps and corporate travel briefings.

Call GET /endpoint/event and GET /endpoint/alerts and produce a one-paragraph road-conditions briefing covering Phoenix-Tucson and Phoenix-Flagstaff corridors

Rest-Area and Trip Planning

Travel apps and RV planners can plot rest stops on a planned Arizona route by calling /endpoint/restareas and overlaying weather conditions from /endpoint/weatherstations. The combination allows pre-trip checks for long-haul routes through desert and mountain terrain. Suited to RV and tourism apps.

Fetch GET /endpoint/restareas and select the three closest rest stops to a planned overnight stop near Flagstaff

Agent-Driven Travel Briefings via Jentic

An assistant agent can build a morning Arizona road briefing through Jentic by chaining the events, alerts, weather, and rest-area endpoints, all without holding the AZ511 API key. The 10-calls-per-60-seconds rate limit fits comfortably inside the briefing cadence. Suited to commuter copilots and corporate travel summaries.

Search Jentic for 'arizona traffic alerts', load GET /endpoint/alerts, and execute it as part of a morning briefing summarising statewide road conditions

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your Arizona 511 API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected into the key query parameter at call time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'arizona traffic alerts' or 'arizona work zones', and Jentic returns the matching AZ511 operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the ADOT docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Arizona 511 API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Arizona 511 API?

ADOT does not publish an OpenAPI specification for the AZ511 feed. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Arizona 511 API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the Arizona 511 API use?

The Arizona 511 API uses an API key passed in the `key` query parameter. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the vault and added to the query string at call time so it never reaches the agent context.

Can I get WZDx work-zone data with the Arizona 511 API?

Yes. GET /wzdx returns work-zone data in the standard Work Zone Data Exchange format, which is widely consumed by freight TMS and routing engines.

What are the rate limits for the Arizona 511 API?

The Arizona 511 API is rate limited to 10 calls per 60 seconds, as documented in the spec. Plan polling cadence and batched briefings around that limit and back off on 429 responses.

How do I get current Arizona traffic alerts through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'arizona traffic alerts', load GET /endpoint/alerts, and execute it. Jentic injects the API key from the vault and returns the active alerts list.

Is the Arizona 511 API free?

ADOT publishes the feed for public-information use and provides API keys on request via the AZ511 developer site. Confirm any commercial-use terms directly with ADOT.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Arizona 511 API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Arizona 511 operations and credentials your agent may use. Every Arizona 511 endpoint is a read-only GET with no resource id in the path, so you scope by operation, allowing only the calls the agent needs such as GET /endpoint/alerts or GET /wzdx while withholding the rest. The feed exposes no write operations, so a scoped agent can never change ADOT data.
