Transport for Sao Paulo, Brazil

About Transport for Sao Paulo, Brazil

The API do Olho Vivo is a REST/JSON web service published by SPTrans, the public transport authority of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It provides real-time and reference data on the city's bus system, including bus line search, line direction and itinerary information, stop locations by line or transit corridor, vehicle positions by line or garage, arrival predictions by line and stop, and vehicle speeds along corridors and other roads.

Access requires authentication via a token generated in the developer's application area, submitted through a POST call to a login endpoint that returns true or false depending on success. The API is accessed over HTTPS at a versioned base URL (v2.1 is the version documented), with HTTP access having been phased out.

The service is intended for developers building applications that consume Sao Paulo public transit data, such as bus arrival times, route planning, or vehicle tracking.
