Request parameters - required
- id string
- The STATS19 collision ID.
Request parameters - optional
- labels 1
- If labels=1 is specified, human-readable label titles will be included, which match up with the field names, one for each.
- datetime string
-
If specified, the datetime field (if requested in the fields list) will be converted from unixtime (the default output format) to a formatted version; the available output formats are:
- friendly A friendly format suitable for showing on a webpage, e.g. '6:55pm, 4th October 2013'; this is equivalent to
date ('g:ia, jS F Y', $date)in PHP - friendlydate A friendly date format suitable for showing on a webpage, e.g. '4th October, 2013'; this is equivalent to
date ('jS F, Y', $date)in PHP - sqldatetime SQL DATETIME format (i.e. simplified ISO 8601 format): YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
- unixtime Unixtime (the default)

Response
GeoJSON feature list as per example above. Geometry types will always be Point.
Note that the casualties and vehicles lists will be indexed from 1, not 0.
The field keys (e.g. 'number_of_vehicles') are copied directly from STATS19 raw data. At this time, it is not guaranteed that these will remain consistent after each annual import of data. We would advise not hard-coding field names in your application.
Error response
JSON object containing an error key and a text string.
Example error (text string will vary):
{
"error": "The specified ID was not found."
