Public Transit API

Calculate optimal public transport routes with real-time data integration

Retrieve scheduled and real-time departure information from public transport stops. Two modes: search by coordinates (location) or query a specific stop (stopId + regionName from /stopsInRadius response)

Search for all public transport stops within a given radius of coordinates

Return a route's full timetable: directions, ordered stops, inline geometry and the schedule as a trips x stops grid. Addressed by routeId + regionName from a /stopsInRadius or /nextDepartures response. countryIso is required on the busmaps.com host and must be omitted on wikiroutes.info. The embedded alerts[] block is a busmaps.com feature only - wikiroutes.info responses never include it.

Return current service alerts (disruptions) filtered to a single route or a single operator. Lightweight alternative to fetching the whole /line card just for its alerts: call it in parallel with the route/operator screen. Pass exactly one of routeId or operatorId. Alerts are a busmaps.com feature only - wikiroutes.info has none, so there is no reason to call this endpoint there. The alert objects are identical to the alerts[] embedded in /line and /nextDepartures.

Return a single trip (one scheduled vehicle run) as an ordered list of stops with arrival/departure times and GTFS boarding rules (pickupType/dropOffType). Addressed by tripId + regionName from a /nextDepartures or /rawVehiclePositions response.

Retrieve raw real-time vehicle positions within specified geographic bounds. positionType: 'gps' - real position, 'estimated' - derived from trip updates. Can be filtered by route (routeId + countryIso) or trip (tripId). Real-time vehicle positions are a busmaps.com feature only - wikiroutes.info has none, so there is no reason to call this endpoint there.

Calculate optimal walking routes between coordinates using OSRM pedestrian routing. Prioritizes pedestrian infrastructure like sidewalks and footpaths. Compatible with OSRM API specification.

Calculate distance and duration matrices between multiple coordinates for pedestrian routing. Compatible with OSRM matrix API.

Access the GTFS feed catalog with original and improved data, validation reports, licenses, short public content and artifact hashes, and versioned download URLs. Filter by countryIso or feedName and save each file using downloadFileName.

Convert geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) into a human-readable address using OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Worldwide coverage with detailed address components.

Search for locations by name, address, or place using OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Returns coordinates and details for matching locations. Worldwide coverage.

Forward geocoding with prefix/autocomplete support using Photon (Komoot). Supports partial queries, location bias, bounding box filter and OSM layer/tag filters. Returns GeoJSON FeatureCollection.

Reverse geocoding using Photon (Komoot). Returns the nearest OSM object as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection. The nearest object may be a street, building or POI.
