Circulator API v1 Documentation

Description

Methods for receiving real-time GPS data for DC Circulator buses 

KML format

Data in KML format is accessible at http://circulator.dc.gov/static/kml/circulator.kml

This is composite KML that includes following components: 

   http://circulator.dc.gov/static/kml/stops.kml - static list of all bus stops 

   http://circulator.dc.gov/static/kml/routes.kml - static list of all routes 

   http://circulator.dc.gov/api/circulator.kml - dynamic list of all buses 

GTFS format

Data in GTFS format is accessible at http://circulator.dc.gov/static/gtfs/circulator.zip 

This format is work in progress, since Circulator operates with 10 min interval frequencies.txt overrides trips.txt (incomplete right now)

Following files are included in GTFS and also available on its own: 

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/agency.txt

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/calendar.txt

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/frequencies.txt

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/routes.txt

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/stops.txt

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/stop_times.txt

   http://api.dc.gov/static/data/circulator/gtfs/trips.txt

CSV format (weekly data dumps for all buses, 15 sec updates)

Data in CSV (comma separated values) format. Contains weekly records of all GPS updates from all active Circulator buses. Frequency of location updates ~15sec.
