AUTH NONECORS ✗AGENT ✓HTTPS ✗COMMERCIAL ?

OVAPI exposes real-time public-transport data for the whole of the Netherlands, keyed by line and stop. Query lines, stops, and live departure times as plain JSON with no key required. Heads up: the domain's TLS certificate is misconfigured, so it answers cleanly only over plain HTTP.
