Overview#

The BART API provides real-time data about the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, including schedules, advisories, and station information. Using Pipedream, developers can craft serverless workflows that react to BART data and integrate with countless apps to automate transit-related tasks, enrich apps with transit data, and enhance user experiences with up-to-the-minute BART information.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    bart: {
      type: "app",
      app: "bart",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.bart.gov/api/version.aspx?key=${this.bart.$auth.api_key}&json=y`,
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Commuter Alert System
Create a workflow that triggers at specific times (like rush hours) to check BART schedules and delays. If a delay is detected on a commuter's usual route, the workflow could automatically send a notification via SMS (using Twilio) or email (using SendGrid) to alert them ahead of time.
Dynamic Transit Dashboard
Set up a workflow that periodically fetches the latest BART station statuses and advisories. The gathered data could then be sent to a Google Sheets document, creating a live dashboard that organizations can use for managing employee travel or informing visitors about the best times to travel.
Event Planning Coordination
Integrate the BART API with calendar apps like Google Calendar. When an event is added to a calendar, a workflow could check the BART schedule for that day and time, then email participants advice on the best departure times or alert them to any expected service disruptions.

Authentication#

Name Slug: bart

BART uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your BART account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to BART APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Your API Key is sent to your email when you sign up to BART
