v5.vbb.transport.rest
is a REST API for the public transportation system of Berlin & Brandenburg, VBB.
Because it wraps an API of VBB, it includes all local traffic, as well as some long-distance trains running in the area. Essentially, it returns whatever data the VBB app shows, including realtime delays and disruptions.
This API returns realtime data whenever its upstream, the API for VBB's mobile app, provides it.
You can just use the API without authentication. There's a rate limit of 100 requests/minute (burst 150 requests/minute) set up.
This API has CORS enabled, so you can query it from any webpage.
This API sends ETag
& Cache-Control
headers, allowing clients cache responses properly.
