Accessing MTA Data - API Key

[Aaron Donovan]

All,

Since the MTA began publishing its open data in 2008, over 200 mobile apps using MTA data have been launched by the developer community. We’re glad to be able to support this development, and we continue to seek new, valuable data releases that will benefit our customers. 

That said, far too many third-party apps have neglected to download and host the data on their own servers.  This not only violates the long-published Terms and Conditions for use of MTA data, but places unnecessary strain on MTA servers at additional cost to the agency.   

Beginning in a few weeks, all MTA data feeds will become accessible only through issuance of an API key. App developers must agree to the Terms and Conditions of this access and complete and submit an Online Registration Form. Once that form is reviewed and accepted, you will be issued a Developer's API key. The key will enable you to access the MTA's data feeds.

Click here to review the full terms and conditions of MTA data usage. In order to access data downloads, you must agree to these terms and conditions.

We encourage you to submit your Online registration Form today to ensure uninterrupted access to MTA data and a seamless experience for your mobile app customers.

Hi Aaron,

I have asked you in the past about accessing the subway real time feed.

it required an API Key.

the problem was, and still is that in order to get key, I had to provide a US address and phone.

since I do not have a US address because I live in Israel, i actually had to give up supporting the subway real time info in my app.

But still, I could provide real time info for the buses because it required a different key which does not require a US citizenship.

From your post here, it appears that in few weeks, i will not be able to provide any of the MTA info because i will not be able to get a key that is required.

Are you aware of that ?

Is that intentional or you will provide a way to get a key for non US residents?

Thanks

Moshe

[Michael Mann]

FYI:

If you already have a Key from the Subway real time then you don't need to request another.

Will this also include MTA Bus Time?

Tien

[Moshe Shitrit]

That’s the problem, I do not have a key.

 

Till now there were two mechanisms to get a key, for buses , there is a form and for subway, there another form.

 

It looks like now they are going to make a single mechanism to get a key, and that requires a US citizenship.

 

Thanks

 

Moshe

[Emil Vaughan]

I'd like to know what the policy is on people without a US address or phone number.

The form currently requires you to select a US state, zip code, and the phone number field only accepts phone numbers in US format.

Presumably the MTA does not want to limit usage to just folks with a US address, and this is just an oversight. It would be great to get clarification on this.

[Aaron Donovan]

Moshe, Emil, All,

I am looking into whether we can add non-U.S. addresses and phone number into the web form.  I hope to have an update on that next week.  Sorry this isn't immediately clear.

Will the key be required to access the MTA Real-Time date feeds such as Service Status, Elevator/Escalator Status?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Aaron,

On April 11, you replied to our questions saying that you will have an answer within one week.

since then you did not mention the API key for non US residents.

Toady I wanted to download the updated GTFS file and I found that I already do not have any access to any of the data.

The thing is that I already have a mobile app out there and till now i could at least access GTFS and real time bus times.

From today, i cannot access anything.

does that mean that from now own I have to stop the service to New Yorkers who use my app?

could you please what is behind the idea that MTA forbids non US residents to develop apps that use MTA data?

please advice what's next.

thanks

Moshe

For those of us who seek to manually download the feed for and not use it in an app, will there be an alternate human route to obtaining the data? (captcha, etc.)

[Mark Boyd]

Hi Aaron, i would like to cover this change in an article i am writing for ProgrammableWeb on the resources involved for smart cities who are trying to open up their public transport data via API. Are you able to contact me directly to arrange a couple of interview quotes?

For developers following this topic, i am interested in hearing about what apps you plan to develop using the MTA API key and how you plan to monetize those apps. I will also cover the international access issue in the article.

I hope it is okay to request this here, our readers on ProgrammableWeb include API developers who need to know about the introduction of these API key registration changes, and government IT staff who are trying to plan around the resource issues involved in opening up their data via API, so i believe MTA have a lot to offer with your expertise.

[Aaron Donovan]

Hi Moshe,

I am assured that we are working on updating the web form to allow for non-US addresses.  I am sorry this is taking so long and I recognize that you are going through a frustrating experience.   Thank you for bearing with us while we rectify this matter.

-Aaron

[Aaron Donovan]

Sunny, can you clarify what you are using it for and how you expect to grab it? I am only familiar with the term captcha as a security-filtering technology.

[Sunny]

I'm talking about manually downloading the data - will there be a way to obtain the zip file from the MTA website without a key? Not a computer-initiated download, just a one-time thing for things like data analysis, research, visualizations, etc.

[Will]

Hi Aaron,

There are a few questions that still appear unanswered:

1. Will the service status feed currently hosted at  http://web.mta.info/status/serviceStatus.txt  require a key? Or will this just remain a public resource?

2. If I have an existing key for accessing MTA Bus Time, do I need to apply for a new key using the form you mentioned? Or will my old key continue to work?

3. Will I need to apply for a new key in order to access the data downloads e.g. the Bus GTFS data? Or might my existing MTA Bus Time key work for accessing this resource?

Best wishes,

Will

[Aaron Donovan]

Hi Will,

Sorry for the slow response.   The service status feed currently hosted at  http://web.mta.info/status/serviceStatus.txt will require a key.   Existing keys will continue to work.  You will need a new key for each data set.

-Aaron

[Andre]

Hi Aaron,

             will the documentation be updated to show what the URI to access the API should be. Similar to the samples that are currently available (e.g http://web.mta.info/status/serviceStatus.txt?key=[KEY] &feed_id=ID). This would be greatly appreciated. 

-Andre

[CateContino]

Hi Aaron. I requested an API key over a week ago with no response yet. How log should it take to get one?

Thanks,
Cate

[Aaron Donovan]

Hi Andre,

We haven’t decided on the final architecture yet. We don’t know if all the data will be served from one location.  Most likely we will keep the format which has been mentioned.

-Aaron

[Aaron Donovan]

Hi Cate,

That is strange to hear.  It's automated, and should be fairly immediate.  We're looking into this.  Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

-Aaron

[Aaron Donovan]

Cate,

I've confirmed that an email should show up almost immediately with info and links, and that a key was issued to you.  Perhaps our auto-generated email went into your spam folder?

I went through the process to get an API key...but now we are struggling to find out out we can simply download then new (NON-real-time) GTFS file. 

Can someone please let me know the resolution of this?

Hi Aaron,

it's been long since your last response and I wonder if there are going to be any changes regarding the ability to get access key for non US residents.

Do you think that it is better to just forget it ?

Thanks

Moshe

[Aaron Donovan]

Hi Moshe,

This is finally fixed. Thank you for your patience while we processed this request. Sorry it took such a long time.

Hi Aaron,

 

Thank you,

 

I managed to register.

 

There is a slight problem with the phone numbers format, but it did not prevent me from registering.

[Bala Vellanki]

Hi Aaron,

I requested the key and got the key. As soon as I login and use the key it gives a not accessible message saying no access.

Also it publishes a phone number that goes to well care..718-439-2222

Is there any resolution for this

[Kenneth Salomon]

Same here. I requested a key and got a key instantly, but no access is associated to the key. I am hoping by waiting the issue will resolve itself

[Aaron Donovan]

Hi Bala,

Thanks. We're going to troubleshoot this.  Are you using the key to access Metro-North or LIRR data?  If so we may have to synch it manually.

I guess I'm in the same boat with the API, getting a no-access message after having received an API key.  pants AT orpheusdesign DOT com is the e-mail I registered with...  

I did find that when I tried to run a node.js server to hit the API using application/x-protobuf ...

that at least I got a response back from the server, but it gave me back an error in parsing the response:

Error: Illegal wire type of unknown field 13 in Message .transit_realtime.FeedMessage#decode: 6
    at ProtoBuf.Reflect.Message.decode (/Users/cbutler/Documents/webstorm/stamford/kiosk/node_modules/gtfs-realtime-bindings/node_modules/protobufjs/ProtoBuf.js:2132:39)
    at Function.Message.decode (/Users/cbutler/Documents/webstorm/stamford/kiosk/node_modules/gtfs-realtime-bindings/node_modules/protobufjs/ProtoBuf.js:1982:41)

This was just using the vanilla google gtfs-realtime-bindings node.js module...

Anyway, it's great this data is publicly available.   I appreciate the effort you folks made to get it out there...

Cheers,

Chris, Bala and Kenneth, are you trying to get the subway feed as well?

[William Hart]

I signed up for an API key in September last year on the datamine site. I have a message on my datamine account saying that the key is authorized for all feeds.   However, although it works fine for the subway feed, the LIRR and MNR feeds just return "Access Denied".

Does it need special authorization to get at the NMR and LIRR real-time feeds?

Thanks,

Bill

Any progress?

Hi John - I'm a registered developer with API key that was working fine for over a year.

Today all the sudden I am getting 'You have no access.' message when I try to access.It is a bit odd as it just stopped working without any notice. 

I'm using Subway GTFS-RT feed, and have registered via data mine.

What needs to be done to re-enable my access? This a bit urgent on my side, I would appreciate if someone could look into this.

Thanks!

Just checked again and everything seems to be back to normal now. Wish there were more transparency to this process.

Thanks to John for submitting a ticket on this but there was no action or follow up on the ticket itself..

Looking through posts on this forum there are many other developers that are effected by this. There are live apps with thousands of users depending on the data - just blindly turning off API access w/o any notice is plain unacceptable in this day and age (especially when MTA depends on us, 3rd party developers to provide application support for their data).

I'm not sure what the affiliation of the moderators of this forum are with MTA - but please can someone escalate with proper channels at MTA & resolve this?

Thanks!

[Adnan Suvalic]

Yup same here, all is back to normal. Please please do let us know if you are going to turn off our access. What is the point of having us register with all our contact info, having our api keys associated with our accounts if we will just loose access with no notice? This is really a huge deal, people would not download my app if the live data feed does not work since schedule data is really unreliable. Thank you again for helping us work through this but surely there is a better way. 

[Infinite Will Macon]

Hi John,

Its kind of urgent! I'm also registered developer with API key that was working fine for over a year.
Today all the sudden I am getting "have no access" message and "Bad server response" when I try to access for the bus time data feed.

It is a bit odd as it just stopped working without any notice. 

I'm using Bus Time Api here: http://bustime.mta.info/wiki/Developers/OneBusAwayRESTfulAPI

How to fix this issue in order to back to normal? Please help, its quite urgent as there many daily users out there. Thanks!

[Oliver Shen]

Hi, John:

   I registered for an API key few days ago, but I got "API key is not authorized or rate exceeded." for every request, such like :

http://bustime.mta.info/api/siri/vehicle-monitoring.json?key=<API KEY>&OperatorRef=MTA&VehicleRef=9531&LineRef=B54

Could you please take a look for me? thx a lot.

Oliver

   Thx for helping me.

I'm having no trouble using a number of keys that have been issued recently, including using that call you mentioned.

Can you email me your key and the times you're having trouble?

Hi Vinod - I am having the same problem. I've read in other posts to email your API to larsenjj at gmail .com, which I did but haven't heard from John yet. I imagine he is a busy man and might take some time for him to get the API whitelisted. Anyway, that's what I'm doing but still waiting. 

Thanks

Hi John, I may need you to do this for me as well?  I also signed up, got an API key, and when I try to use it I get access denied.

Note: It looks like this message went to the wrong thread when I originally posted it.  Sorry for the double notification if this causes one.

Thanks,

I am a bit lost here as well. First off, there are 2 different forms to fill out to get a token

http://datamine.mta.info/user/register (registered and got a key)

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DRhN7C4UBelMkJm190tJT9mdrNtqDjsidNdrLddP_wg/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dG9kcGIxRFpSS0NhQWM4UjA0V0VkNGc6MQ#gid=0 (registered and have not gotten a key)

I am guessing they both have seperate value, but I am not sure which one I need to use to get the results I want. I am creating an app that gets how far a Train/Bus is from my particular location using voice. I know I can leverage the existing Apis to do this, but have no idea what I need to do and where I need to go, as it seems like the documentation is in the process of moving. Anyhelp would be great

[Элеонора Литвак]

Hello everybody!

I also have status Access denied for Long Island and Metro North data feeds.

Am I right that this is a problem for everybody and nobody has an access to this data???

Are there any terms when this will be fixed?

Thank you,

Hello John Larsen,

my developer also signed up for an API Key via the datamine website to access real-time data for 

Long Island Rail Road
and
Metro-North Railroad

For any of the RT links on this website they got an "access denied" page. We were however successful in downloading the Real-Time Subway Locations data, so we assume it's not about the validity of the API Key...

Could you find out how we can also obtain the RT data for Long Island and Metro-North?

Thanks a mill
