BC Ferries vs Transport for Paris, France

BC Ferries

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.

Transport for Paris, France

RATP's own open-data catalog (separate from the region-wide Île-de-France Mobilités PRIM portal), an Opendatasoft-hosted Explore API. Its 26 datasets cover per-station air quality readings, annual station entry-traffic counts, and points of interest such as defibrillators, water fountains, public toilets, and licensed nearby shops for the Paris metro, RER, tram, and bus network. No accessibility or network-reference dataset is published. Public dataset reads work anonymously with no key over the v2.1 Explore API.
