Transportation — entry 064 of 69
Transport for Vancouver, Canada
TransLink's Open API gives developers programmatic access to real-time bus/SkyTrain arrival predictions and route data (Real-Time Transit Information API) alongside static and real-time GTFS feeds for Metro Vancouver's regional network. Despite the listed auth previously reading OAuth, the live portal explicitly instructs developers to register for an API key before calling the RTTI endpoints — a simple key-based scheme, not an OAuth2 flow.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
Developer reference
1,000 requests/day per issued API key; TransLink reserves the right to lower this or impose further per-day restrictions, especially for commercial users, per translink.ca's app-developer-resources terms of use
