I’m looking to get an up to date data feed of what station facilities exist (specifically around accessibility - so lifts and toilets) and the operational status of these facilities.
So far I can see that https://api.tfl.gov.uk/StopPoint/xxx returns the facilities at the station and https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Disruptions/Lifts/ gives me the status of step-free access. Are there any other data sources that might be useful? Can i get the status of toilets anywhere?
Thanks.
TfL has a station topology dataset that contains information about all the facilities - such as lifts and toilets - at a station. Head to the “Our open data” page on the main website, scroll down to the " Accessibility and toilets" section, and select the “Step-free access and toilet data” option.
Click the “Station topology files (detailed)” link to download the dataset, and you can refer to the “Step-free access and toilet data guide” PDF document for more information on how to use this data.
To the best of my knowledge there isn’t such an API at the moment, you can only get the status of lifts, but I’m happy to be corrected on this.
Hi,
Unfortunately, the only type of facility we currently provide the status of is lifts.
We would love to provide the status of other types of facility, including toilets, and are now looking at ways we may be able to provide this data, but it’s not something we’ll be able to do in the short term.
