Build smarter mobility in minutes#

TripGo's REST API delivers door-to-door itineraries that blend public transit, micromobility, rideshare, taxi and walking - complete with live departure times, fares, emissions and accessibility flags.

Why developers ship with TripGo:

• Free to start — no credit card, generous trial limits
• Ship fast — open-source SDKs for Swift, Kotlin and React with ready-made UI components
• Highly configurable — personalise results for your users' needs
• Top support — responsive team + custom data integration

Grab your key, call /routing.json, and see real journeys before your coffee's done.

1. Getting an API key#

You can try it out for free for as long as you like, as long as you stay below a threshold of API calls - no credit card required. For limits on the free tier and pricing, see the SkedGo website.

It may take up to 5 minutes for your key to be active.

Once you have an API key, send it along with every request as the X-TripGo-Key header.

2. Make a request#

Our API can do a lot more than just directions, but if that is what you are interested in, then try something like:

curl 'https://api.tripgo.com/v1/routing.json?from=(-33.859,151.207)&to=(-33.863,151.208)&departAfter=1532799914&modes=wa_wal&v=11&locale=en' -H 'Accept: application/json' --compressed -H "X-TripGo-Key: $tripgoKey" -g

or

curl 'https://api.tripgo.com/v1/routing.json?from=(-33.859,151.207)&to=(-33.891,151.209)&modes=pt_pub&v=11&locale=en' -H 'Accept: application/json' --compressed -H "X-TripGo-Key: $tripgoKey" -g

Keep in mind that this API is optimised to return a large number of trip results while maintaining small response sizes. This has a number of complications. Notably, to get a trip's segments you need to combine the segment references with the segment templates. This is explained further in the F.A.Q..

3. Integrating TripGo API with your App#

SkedGo offers SDKs for iOS, Android, and React, making it easy to integrate trip planning features into your application. Below you’ll find quick-start examples for each platform. Be sure to replace the placeholder API key with your own.

import TripKit

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

  TripKit.apiKey = "MY_API_KEY"
  TripKit.prepareForNewSession()

  // ...
}

import TripKitUI

let controller = TKUIHomeViewController()
present(controller, animated: true)

class App : Application() {
  override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    TripKitConfigs.builder().context(this)
      .debuggable(true)
      .key { "YOUR_API_KEY" }
      .build()
    // Initialize TripKit here
  }
}

npm install tripkit-react

import React from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { TKRoot, TKUITripPlanner } from 'tripkit-react';

const config = {
    apiKey: <MY_TRIPGO_API_KEY>
};

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));

root.render(
  <TKRoot config={config}>
    <TKUITripPlanner />
  </TKRoot>);

4. Where to go from here?#

1. If you're an app developer, take a look at our open source TripKit SDKs for Swift (iOS, macOS, Linux), and Kotlin / Java (Android).

2. If you're a web developer, take a look at our React SDK, or check out our Leaflet Plugin (see Demo).

3. If you're a backend developer, dive into the API specs, which are available in OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) format.

4. If you know how to debug a web app, look at the network activity for our web app to get an idea of which API calls to use when. (Filter for "satapp".)
