Developing application programming interfaces at DfT

Developing application programming interfaces at DfT Outlines the feasibility of making as many existing open datasets as possible available through application programming interfaces (APIs) at the Department for Transport. Documents Details In the Department for Transport’s (DfT) data action plan, application programming interfaces (APIs) are defined as: - the default delivery channel for transport data - the main enabler of integration across modes and organisations - essential for real‑time, user-facing and operational services - a driver of innovation, AI and economic growth This report sets out the findings of a discovery into the feasibility of making as many of DfT’s existing open datasets as possible available through APIs.
