This interface enables external organization to gather aggregated meta-data on citizens' mobility.

Within the API boundaries, it is possible to parametrize requests by selecting timeframes, area of interests, mobility types and other details. To preserve user’s privacy, it has been defined a lower threshold for the area selected.

In addition, it has been enabled the possibility to extract, with other requests, the list of positions for the collected journeys.

In principle, the main role of SERENGETI, concerning the extraction API, is to behave as a secure application proxy between external requesters, and the Private Database of the GOEASY Platform.
