TransitRadar API not working for you?

  1. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
  2. TransitRadar doesn't send CORS headers, so browsers block calls made directly from a web page. Call it from your server instead.
  3. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
  4. Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

TransitRadar API status FAQ

Is TransitRadar API down right now?

TransitRadar answered our last daily check (Nov 15, 2026, 13:58 UTC) in 1009 ms with HTTP 403. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether TransitRadar is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether TransitRadar API is up?

Once a day our checker requests TransitRadar's listed URL (https://transitradar.co.uk/scalar/) and records whether it answers within 15 seconds. Answers like 401 (needs a key), 403 (blocks bots) or 429 (rate-limited) count as up, because the server responded. The listed URL is often the documentation page, so an API endpoint can occasionally fail while its docs stay up.

How reliable is TransitRadar API?

TransitRadar answered 100% of our last 10 daily checks. Above 99% is excellent for a free API; below 95% means you should cache responses and keep a fallback ready.

Free Transportation APIs that were up at their last check include India EV Charging Stations, AirportMiles, ArcNautical. See the full list of TransitRadar alternatives for a comparison.

Why does TransitRadar API work for others but not for me?

A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header. TransitRadar doesn't send CORS headers, so browsers block calls made directly from a web page. Call it from your server instead. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
