Waze is an application, which offers an actual traffic information. There is also a livemap Waze livemap – where are marks as you can see.

So, I found some site: Check this link – egaraz and I’m really curious how did egaraz.cz fetch (parse) data (marks) from Waze, because there is no chance to do that. Or do they have some kind of deal? I don’t know.

I tried to download all mentioned webpages to my computer, I read all javascript files and everything and found just nothing. Maybe I overlooked some…

Can you just help me and (try to) say me how do they did that? Or suggest some working solution/s..

    I did some investigation on this and found some curious stuff…

    It seems it’s sort of hidden but there’s a Waze Wiki, here’s your answer:

    API – use waze maps on your website

    For further information please contact bizdev@waze.com

    http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/API_-_use_waze_maps_on_your_website
    (so maybe you gotta pay for it, anyhow, they’re probably interested in knowing what you wanna do beforehand)

    Now the interesting part is that Waze source was actually open ( seems it’s not the last version tho )
    https://github.com/mkoloberdin/waze
    ,
    http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Source_code (edit: link is down)

    And a guy even did a Linux backport( didn’t see if it works yet )

    https://github.com/sashakh/waze

    Edit: Theoretically it could be possible to hack an integration but this is old stuff, Waze stopped releasing the source since v3.0 and it’s possible that they’ve probably added additional barriers to the data(I’ve actually ran the linux port after making this post and it seemed to work, that was the farthest I went tho)
