Hey,

can I use this endpoints in a real Android App? What is about a license?

Best regards.

Hey!

You can certainly use the *.transport.rest APIs in an Android app, as they're meant for public consumption.

But you shouldn't rely on them working; What that means specifically depends on your app: Is the data from *.transport.rest central to the app or just some side info? Is the app going to be well-known or not? etc.

Another option would be to fetch data directly from the underlying APIs directly, e.g. using public-transport-enabler. There are pros and cons involved of course.

Regarding the licensing & legal situation, please read https://github.com/public-transport/transport.rest/issues/4#issuecomment-745636901.

Does that answer your questions?
