Does Lyft API access include a way to access historical data, such as for specific time periods? Specifically, I am seeking Origin-Destination data, to identify which locations have the greatest demand for these services.

Yes, looked through it quite extensively before checking here, but found no reference. Thanks. – cocgis Dec 11 '18 at 21:12

Yes, you can obtain the origin and destination latitude and longitude via Lyft GET /rides endpoint
Online reference: https://developer.lyft.com/v1/reference#users-ride-history
However, you will need to use a 3rd party service like Foursquare, Yelp, Google, or Factual to figure out whether the destination venue is residential or commercial. See below for examples how to query place via via latitude and longitude:

Foursquare Places https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/venues/search
