Newbie, where to go for how-to, API documentation or guides

[Evangelos Thomatos]

Apologies in advance. I humbly request any tips or guidance on where there is any guide on how to use the real time API feed from the MTA.

Hi,

First, read the documentation here: 

• https://web.mta.info/developers/developer-data-terms.html#data
  
• https://api.mta.info/GTFS.pdf
  

GTFS-realtime is based on Protobuf, read more about it here:

• https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs-realtime/
  
• https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
  

Look at public repositories on GitHub: https://github.com/search?p=1&q=mta+gtfs&type=Repositories

Also, I made a Go library https://github.com/errornil/mta#subway-gtfs-realtime-feeds
