Alerts

Transitland enriches static schedule data with real-time alerts. Alerts are imported from GTFS Realtime service alerts and trip updates feeds.

Alerts available through the REST API

The Transitland v2 REST API filters all alerts and provides a subset of alerts through the most appropriate endpoint:

  • Agencies: when the alert does not provide (via InformedEntities) a specific a stop, route, or trip
  • Routes: when the alert does not provide a specific stop or trip
  • Stops: when the alert does not provide a specific trip
  • Trips: only for that specific trip

All of the above endpoints can take the include_alerts query parameter to turn on or off the inclusion of alerts in the API response.
