Features

API Endpoint

GTFS-RT compliant alerts are available in protobuf format from:

http://alerts.onebusaway.org/api/v1/regions/{region_id}/alerts.pb

where region_id is the region identifier defined in the OBA Regions API. For instance, Tampa is 0 and Puget Sound is 1.

A text version of alerts can be viewed by changing the URL's file extension from pb to pbtext. For instance:

http://alerts.onebusaway.org/api/v1/regions/1/alerts.pb

can be changed to:

http://alerts.onebusaway.org/api/v1/regions/1/alerts.pbtext

Append ?test=1 to the URL to view any test feed items that have been created:

http://alerts.onebusaway.org/api/v1/regions/1/alerts.pb?test=1
