About API Management

Metrolinx is undertaking a large technology investment in the API Management infrastructure, while insuring the scalability, performance, and security of our backend system interfaces. We have a unique opportunity to plan, build, and operate a modern enterprise application integration ecosystem.

Application developers use our API Developer Portal to discover public transit APIs, onboard to use them, and learn how to consume them in client applications. They can read API documentation, call an API via the interactive console, and create an account to subscribe for our packaged API products.
