Land Transport Authority DataMall, Singapore API
Overview
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) DataMall API provides comprehensive Singapore transport data including bus arrivals, taxi availability, train service alerts, and carpark information. An API key is required and can be requested for free from the LTA DataMall portal. This is an essential API for developers building Singapore-focused transport and mobility applications.
Beginner Tip
Request your free API key at https://datamall.lta.gov.sg/ and use it in the AccountKey header. Start with the /BusArrivalv2 endpoint using a bus stop code (5-digit number) to get real-time arrival predictions.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

"origin": "Station A",
"destination": "Station B",
"departure": "08:30",
"arrival": "09:15",
"status": "On Time",

Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://datamall.lta.gov.sg/content/dam/datamall/datasets/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
