Open Data - Go Transit Help

Introduction

API is a collection of function calls providing access to GO information. Data provided through the API is public and in real time. Accessing the API is free, but you must register to obtain an Access Key. After registering, you are assigned an Access Key. You use the Access Key with every method call. The Key does not change or expire; however, it may get disabled if extensive API calls are detected. This is done by removing the capabilities manually associated with the key. The required capabilities need to be assigned back to the key manually to enable the key again. If the key has been compromised, a new key will be issued with the same capabilities.
