Feature Request
-----------------------
What would you like to see us add to this API?
We are on the verge of launching a mobile application for public transport, utilizing some of the functionalities provided by your platform, particularly the Directions API. Our objective is to enable filtering of search results based on the transit agency providing the transportation options. Currently, when we make a request to the API, it returns routes with transit steps, some of which involve vehicles owned by agencies that we do not wish to include in our app.
We are keen to explore the possibility of implementing a feature that allows us to customise the API request with parameters, so that only results related to the desired transit agencies are returned. This way, we can tailor the search results to our specific needs.
Additionally, the API currently returns four alternatives when the "alternatives" bool is set to true. However, we are interested in having the flexibility to control the number of results returned by the API. It would be greatly appreciated if we could specify the desired number of results as a parameter in the request.
We are looking forward to your insights on these customisation options, as they would greatly enhance the user experience of our application.
