Chicago's Transit Authority recently released a couple webapps that allow people to track bus locations and routes. It is awesome. This is the documentation of the API they have exposed to power their apps. This documentation is NOT affiliated with CTA, Chicago or anything else official. I have created a proxy for this API. It caches requests, and should be a LOT faster than accessing the API directly. The proxy is: http://chicago.transitapi.com. PLEASE USE THE PROXY TO ACCESS THIS API IN YOUR APPLICATIONS. To use the proxy, you will just need to replace ctabustracker.com with chicago.transitapi.com in the urls for your requests. I will be adding various other API helper endpoints to chicago.transitapi.com. stay tuned. If you have questions, fixes or additions - email harper@nata2.org. If you are bored, check out my blog.
