Transport for Washington, US — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Transport for Washington, US free to use?

Transport for Washington, US is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires OAuth, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does Transport for Washington, US need an API key?

Transport for Washington, US uses OAuth rather than a simple key, so you register an application and complete an authorisation flow before making calls. That is more setup than a key, and it is why OAuth APIs are harder to try quickly.

Can I call Transport for Washington, US from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. Transport for Washington, US did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
