Apimetro vs OpenVan
Apimetro is an independent developer's geospatial dataset covering Mexico City's public-transport network — Metro, Metrobús, Cablebús, RTP, Trolebús, Tren Ligero, Mexicable, Mexibús, and CETRAM hubs — with per-station and per-line lookups, ready-to-render GeoJSON geometries, and historical ridership (afluencia) figures. Every endpoint answers without a key despite a BasicAuth scheme declared in its Swagger doc, and it's distributed under the Business Source License 1.1.
OpenVan.camp publishes a curated read-only OpenAPI schema for vanlife/RV travel planning: fuel prices by country, currency rates, a VanBasket food-cost index, VanSky weather-suitability scores, plus vanlife news stories and events. No authentication is required and the schema is discoverable at the site's `.well-known/openapi.json`; requests are capped at 120/minute per IP and the data is CC BY 4.0 licensed.
