Introduction

Welcome to the Dublin Area Transport API. This API can be used to access various endpoints which provide information on the three major forms of public transport in the Dublin area, Dublin Bus, Luas and DART.

Authentication

To authorize, use this code:

const api = require('dublintransportjs');

api.authorize('your-key-here');

Make sure to replace your-key-here with your API key.

The Dublin Area Transport API uses API keys to allow higher limits to the API. In the future you will be able to register a new API key at our developer portal.

An API key need not be included in the request but you will be limited to 120 requests per hour without one, you will be able to contact us at the developer portal if you require more requests.
