api.ebongo.orgBongo Developer API

All of the data for Bongo is copyrighted by the University of Iowa, the City of Iowa City and/or the City of Coralville and is not permitted to be used in a commercial application. One of the primary reasons that Bongo is useful for the residents of the Iowa City metro area is that all three transit agencies participated in the system. Following that key covenant of Bongo, the Bongo API includes information for all three transit agencies together. Formats The Bongo API can be retrieved in a number of different formats. These are XML, JSON and JSONP. The default format is XML, so if you do not pass a format parameter, you will receive XML back. To get JSON or JSONP, pass the format parameter in the URL. For example, if you wanted to get the route list in JSON, you would enter http://api.ebongo.org/routelist?format=json&api_key=XXXX Apps Using the API Web bongo.org iOS Bongo IowaBus IC Buses Android Bongo Bongo+ Data Route Listing This will display a list of all routes in the Bongo system.
