py-tfl 0.4.4

A Python package for the Transport for London (TFL) API.

A Python package for the Transport for London (TFL) API.

The TFL API is a RESTful API that provides data related to all modes of transport in London, including cycle hire, buses, roads, and the underground. Anonymous access to the TFL API is limited to 50 requests a minute. If you want to call the API more than that, you'll need to subscribe to a "Product" which lets you bypass this limit with a subscription-key that you append to your requests.

Currently, we support the following APIs:

• Accident Stats API
• Air Quality API
• Crowding API
• Lift Disruptions API

The plan is to add support for all the TFL APIs. Contributions are welcome!
