Since the attack to Translink API last December (https://www.translink.ca/news/2020/december/statement%20from%20translink%20ceo%20kevin%20desmond) I haven't been able to get the active buses serving an specific route (https://developer.translink.ca/ServicesRtti/ApiReference#Buses). I would have expected that by this point this would be already fixed but when hitting the URL indicated by the API (https://api.translink.ca/rttiapi/v1/buses?apikey=[APIKey]&routeNo=210) to retrieve such data, I always get a 2011 error:

<Error>
<Code>2011</Code>
<Message>
Sorry, no buses found for your specified stop or route.
</Message>
</Error>

I also have noticed that by going to https://api.translink.ca I landed on a Microsoft Azure page and I don't remember having created an account there.

Does anybody knows if the API is already working? If so, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Hi

Just returned to this project after a few Covid years.. I'm not getting any actual bus data out of it. Trying some of the RTTI api links appear not to be live either. Do I need to update my account in some way or are you just having problems today?


https://gtfs.translink.ca/v2/gtfsrealtime?apikey=AnDL0!sO65il1iLettRs. (not my key, just a randome set of things representing a key!)
Just returns 4 bytes of stuff.

All the best
John
