OpenVan vs Transport for Paris, France
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.
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.
