OpenVan vs Transport for Denver, US
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.
RTD Denver's original gtfs-developer-guide.shtml page is gone after a full site rebuild (now 404s); the transit agency's open-data offering now lives under open-records/open-spatial-information, split into static GTFS zip downloads (bus, light rail, commuter rail, plus the regional Bustang service) and three GTFS-Realtime protocol-buffer feeds (vehicle positions, trip updates, alerts). No API key is required, only acceptance of a redistribution license agreement.
