BorderLive

Use this when two to five stable crossing IDs are known and the user wants a lane-specific comparison. A fastest crossing is declared only when at least two crossings have numeric source readings no more than 30 minutes old.

compare_crossings

Use this when an authenticated user explicitly asks to create a lane-specific wait-time alert for a known crossing ID. Repeating the same active alert request is retry-safe and returns created=false.

create_alert

Use this when an authenticated Business user explicitly requests a CSV export for a known crossing ID. The signed download link expires after 10 minutes.

create_history_export

Use this when an authenticated Business user requests hourly history for a known crossing ID, optionally filtered by lane, for at most the last 14 days.

get_crossing_history

Use this only after an authenticated user explicitly confirms deletion of one alert ID. It deactivates the alert and does not delete account data.

delete_alert

Use this when one to five stable crossing IDs are known and the user wants current waits, freshness, and optional lane filtering. Unknown IDs are returned explicitly in missingCrossingIds.

get_current_waits

Use this when an authenticated Business user wants a known crossing ID's historical day-of-week and hourly wait profile, optionally filtered by lane.

get_hourly_profile

Use this when an authenticated user wants to review their active BorderLive alerts, including crossing, lane, threshold, locale, and creation time.

list_alerts

Use this when a user supplies a crossing name, state, or border instead of a stable crossing ID. Returns disambiguated facilities, IDs, supported lanes, and freshness without accepting GPS coordinates or personal addresses.
