Transitland Datastore API
Open Transit Data
This API is best for developers who need access to transit data from around the world in a standardized format.
A developer would use this API to retrieve accurate transit data that is standardized across multiple transit agencies, allowing for easy comparison and analysis. With real-time data and data validation, developers can ensure that their applications provide up-to-date and accurate information to users. This API also provides access to GTFS feeds and transit network geography data, allowing developers to create mapping and visualization tools to display transit information in innovative ways.
Key features
- Real-time transit data
- Data validation
- API for GTFS feeds
- API for transit network geography
Potential use cases
- Transit data visualization app: Create a transit data visualization app using the Transitland Datastore API. Show the busiest transit stops in a city, which transit routes are most traveled, and which routes have the most on-time performance.
- Transit planning tool: Develop a transit planning tool using the Transitland Datastore API. Provide users with useful data such as average wait time, frequency of stops, and more. Allow users to explore different routes and stops to plan their trips more efficiently.
- Transit data aggregator: Use the Transitland Datastore API to aggregate transit data from different sources to provide a comprehensive view of transit systems across a region, country or the entire world. Data can be used for research, analysis or policy discussions.
The Transitland Datastore API was exactly what we needed to create our transit information app. The real-time data and API for GTFS feeds were essential to provide our users with the most up-to-date information. The API was easy to use and the team at Transitland was incredibly responsive to our questions and requests for support.
