I am calling the Google distance matrix api with an API key along with a Unix time that is three weeks in the future. My goal is to get duration_in_traffic for a typical weekday at a couple of different times of day.
My issue is that I am getting "duration_in_traffic" times that do not differ from "duration" times in the same return.
I am pretty certain that I am getting the UTC right with respect to local time but, just in case, I varied the time with no variation in the result.
What I have been able to find in my searches hints to me that there is a way to get what I am after but that I may have to change the type of account that I have with Google. Although I am using the account on a 30 day free trial I did "enable billing" in case that was the problem. No luck so far. Does anyone out there know the solution I need? Thanks.
