title: Nokia HERE Maps API Historical Traffic Data
body: <p>Does the HERE API take into account historical traffic data when routing with traffic enabled? For example, if I set the departure time to 5PM local time for a date either in the future or the past (not today) I would expect to get a traffic time greater than the base time due to rush hour traffic.</p>
  
  <p>It doesn't seem to work though. The traffic time and base time come back with the same value. I can't tell if this API just doesn't support this, if it's a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a sample request from the API Playground (with the demo App ID and key) set to 5PM as an example of what I'm referring to:</p>
