Choosing a Transport & Travel API
Is there a free Transport & Travel API?
Yes. Transport for London (TfL) Unified API, NHTSA vPIC API, adsbdb, AIS Hub, AZ511 and 29 others are free to use, and Aviationstack, AirLabs, API Ninjas Airports, Apimetro, ArcNautical and 18 others have a free tier alongside paid plans.
Which Transport & Travel APIs work without an API key?
NHTSA vPIC API, adsbdb, Apimetro, Auto Body Shop Directory, BC Ferries API and 25 others need no key or sign-up, so you can try them with a plain request.
Can I call a Transport & Travel API from front-end JavaScript?
NHTSA vPIC API, adsbdb, Apimetro, BC Ferries API, Bike Reliability and 16 others allow cross-origin requests and need no key, so they work straight from the browser. For the others, call them from your server so your key stays private.
Can I use Transport & Travel APIs in a commercial project?
API Ninjas Airports, ArcNautical, CarAPI, CarsXE, CruiseFeed and 13 others permit commercial use. ADS-B Exchange, adsbdb, Apimetro, Auto.dev, BIC-Boxtech and 8 others restrict it, for example to non-commercial or attributed use, so read the terms first.
Which Transport & Travel APIs work with AI agents?
Can I enter and SMKlog have both an MCP server and an OpenAPI spec. AfterShip, ArcNautical and Windsock have an MCP server, so an AI agent can call them directly. Transport for London (TfL) Unified API, Apimetro, Auto Body Shop Directory, BIC-Boxtech, Bike Reliability and 13 others publish an OpenAPI spec for generating clients and tools.
