MBTA API Playground

https://www.mbta-api-playground.com/
Learn how to work with the MBTA V3 API by constructing queries and interacting with the results.

Creating queries

Users can build queries in which they specify:

• The primary object (ex: Alert, Route, Facility, Vehicle, etc.)
• The related objects that should also be included in the results
• The attributes that should be returned for each object
• Filters for limiting what object instances are returned

Viewing results

Upon executing a query, the user is brought to a results page where they can view:

• A brief summary of the response (status code, size, and query parameters)
• A table of the response data
  • It can be downloaded as a CSV file for further analysis
• A profile report generated by pandas-profiling
  • Users can customize what correlations are calculated
• The raw response data as pretty-printed JSON
• Interactive geolocation plots for any objects which have 'latitude' and 'longitude' attributes.
  • These plots are generated using Bokeh

Built With

• Django
• Django REST framework
• Vanilla ES6 JavaScript (the only exception is jQuery was used for showing/hiding modals)

Example: finding facilities which have bike storage or electric car chargers
