Transport for Auckland, New Zealand API
Overview
Transport for Auckland (AT) provides real-time public transport data for New Zealand's largest city. You can access bus and train schedules, live vehicle positions, and service alerts through a RESTful API. It's a great starting point for building local transit apps or exploring GTFS-based transport data.
Beginner Tip
Register for a free API key on the AT Developer Portal — most endpoints require an Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header. Start with the /gtfs/routes endpoint to list all routes before diving into real-time data.
