BC Ferries vs Transport for Belgium
An independent, keyless JSON API built by developer Sam Pratt that scrapes and republishes BC Ferries' current sailing schedules, capacity and fill percentages, and vessel names for both major and minor routes via simple GET endpoints like /v2/capacity and /v2/noncapacity. It's a hobbyist project sustained through GitHub Sponsors donations rather than an official BC Ferries product, and it also backs a companion iOS app.
Independent, community-run, free API for Belgian rail travel, mirroring NMBS/SNCB data as live departure boards, connections, and vehicle compositions. Built and maintained as an open-source hobby project, it requires no API key and returns either JSON or XML depending on the requested format.
