Transport for Paris, France

About Transport for Paris, France

The API provides REST-based access to open data published by RATP (Paris public transport operator) through the Opendatasoft Explore API v2. It uses the HTTP GET method exclusively, returns JSON responses, and organizes endpoints hierarchically around a dataset catalog, following the Opendatasoft Query Language (ODSQL) for query parameters across endpoints.

The API supports catalog-level operations, including listing and querying datasets, retrieving dataset metadata, and exporting catalogs in formats such as CSV and RDF/XML (DCAT). At the dataset level, it allows querying and exporting individual records, with export formats including CSV, Parquet, and GPX, as well as listing facets and attachments and reading individual records by ID. The records endpoint has a limited return size, while the exports endpoint does not.

This API is intended for developers building applications that consume RATP's open transport data, such as real-time or reference datasets related to the Paris transport network.
