Overview
Metro Lisboa API provides real-time delay information for Lisbon subway lines. It requires no authentication, making it a great starting point for transit app development. Simply call the endpoint and parse the JSON response to display current line statuses.
Beginner Tip
The endpoint returns JSON with line status data — no API key needed. Parse the response and check each line object for delay information.
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.
{
"route": "Line 1",
"origin": "Station A",
"destination": "Station B",
"departure": "08:30",
"arrival": "09:15",
"status": "On Time",
"delays_min": 0
} Field Reference
linha Name or code of the subway line (e.g., "amarela", "azul") estado Current operational status of the line (e.g., "normal", "perturbado") descricao Human-readable description of any delays or disruptions on the line Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "http://app.metrolisboa.pt/status/";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
