How it works
Easy and scalable API
The RESTful JSON API is easy to consume and integrate into backend systems or web and mobile apps. No need to parse, import and maintain complicated NeTEx files or blend them with TransXChange, SIRI SM and journey planning engines: we do that out-of-the-box for you.
Oh.. and don’t worry about scale. We handle hundreds of API queries per second for about 25% of the UK transit apps by user market share.
Powered by British open data
TAPI Bus Fares uses the recently introduced DfT BODS bus fares dataset* and manages that data for you, while providing a powerful API on top.
TAPI Bus Fares also works in tandem with our well-established products TAPI Journey Planner and TAPI Bus Information in order to produce an integrated solution for a wide range of use cases.
*While the dataset is still new and yet to fully mature, it’s under constant development and improvement by DfT BODS and that’s the best nationwide dataset available.
