Apple Maps API endpoint

Apple Maps Transit Departures API

Returns a transit stop or station's systems (e.g. BART, Muni Metro), lines (name, shield, color), and the upcoming departures Apple Maps shows, each with the line, headsign, direction, scheduled and live times, and real-time status. Takes the stop's Apple place ID (find stops with the search endpoint, e.g. a station name). A place that is not a transit stop returns 404.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

place_id (required) — the stop's Apple place ID, in the external I… form or the numeric id from /apple-maps/search (search for the station name, e.g. Powell St BART station).
lang (optional) — display language as a BCP 47 tag, e.g. en-US. Defaults to en-US.
country (optional) — two-letter ISO 3166-1 code, e.g. US. Defaults to US.

A place that is not a transit stop returns a 404, as does an unknown id. Departures are the next departures at request time; ttl_seconds is how long Apple considers them fresh (typically 30). Outside service hours departures may be empty while lines is still populated.

status on a departure is Apple's real-time state: on_time, delayed, early, cancelled, or unknown. type on a line is Apple's numeric transit mode code (e.g. 400 subway/metro, 900 tram/light rail).

Response includes place (id, name), stop_name, systems[] (id, name), lines[] (id, name, shield, color as a hex RGB, system, type), departures[] (line_id, line, headsign, direction, origin, stop_id, scheduled, live, status), and ttl_seconds.
