About Transport for London, England

Transport for London provides a Unified API offering access to public transport data across London, released as open data for use in third-party software and services. Access requires registration and account activation; users then subscribe to a data plan (a 500 requests plan is referenced) through the Products section to obtain an API key, which is appended as a query parameter (app_key) on requests.

The API can be browsed and tested directly on the site, and its endpoints can be explored or built using a provided file for import into tools like Postman. Response types are also made available for developers working with the .NET framework. Use of the data is subject to TfL's transport data terms and conditions.
