Route Section Update
User Story
The user wants to retrieve an update on a route section identified by its context, ctx.
Note: This service is subject to Terms and Conditions as described in Supplier Terms for Developers Using HERE Location Platform APIs.
Request
The query parameter ctx represents the context of a section from the initial route which can be obtained from the Connections/Connection/Sections/Sec element of the response for the initial transit route request, but with the the optional section context parameter enabled, secCtx=1. For reference, use the request in Transit Route with the secCtx parameter.
Note: The query parameter
ctx expires after a few minutes. You need to request a new Transit Route to obtain fresh values. https://transit.ls.hereapi.com/v3/sectionupdate.json
?apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY}
&ctx={Context from one of 'Connections/Connection/Sections/Sec' elements in previous transit route response}
&graph=1Note: This example uses a HERE API Key to authenticate your request. For information on other possible options, see Authentication Guide. For examples of how to use the other authentication options with the Public Transit API v3, see Authentication Examples.

- a single transit connection containing a single segment
- the connection includes the following information:
- departure time
