OpenVan vs Transport for Lisbon, Portugal
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.
EMEL (Lisbon's municipal mobility and parking operator) publishes its open data through the city's Lisboa Aberta CKAN portal rather than a dedicated live API — the old emel.city-platform.com/opendata/ address now 302-redirects to an unrelated EMEL page. Datasets cover on-street and off-street parking locations and occupancy, GIRA bike-share, regulated parking zones, road tunnels, and street furniture, served keyless as CSV, SHP, and JSON via CKAN's standard action API.
