The tools API covers miscellaneous "tools" - at the moment, the journey planner and the geo coder.

# Journey Planner

{:refdef: .warning}
The API for the geo coder is currently "public restricted", i.e. only available to partners. Please [contact us]() to either make it public, or get a partner access key.
{:refdef}

The journey planner API, as the name suggests, connects to an Auckland Transport system that allows users to plan their journeys. Given a start and end point, time, and some preferences, it calculates a few suggestions for journeys, including walkways, and bus/train/ferry journeys, and also the expected fares. It is the API behind the journey planner on Auckland Transport's [website](https://at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry/journey-planner/).<commit_msg>Update contact us email<commit_after>---
