  description: 'OpenAPI document


    Digitraffic is a service operated by Fintraffic, offering real time traffic information. Currently the service covers *road, marine and rail* traffic. More information can be found at the Digitraffic website


    The service has a public Google-group meri.digitraffic.fi for communication between developers, service administrators and Fintraffic. The discussion in the forum is mostly in Finnish, but you''re welcome to communicate in English too.


    ### General notes of the API

    * Many Digitraffic APIs use the GeoJSON format. The definition of GeoJSON can be found at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946.

    * For dates and times, the ISO 8601 format is used with "Zulu" zero offset from UTC unless otherwise specified (i.e., "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss[.mmm]Z"). E.g. 2019-11-01T06:30:00Z.'
