Hi there
What is the rate limit for TrackerNet? I would like to poll multiple tube stations every minute (I’m looking to get arrivals, departures, and train ids), and I’m wondering how many requests would keep me insite the limit.
Thanks
Richard

Sorry for the delay in replying here. The pre-election period limited what I could say in a public forum.
From a Terms & Conditions point of view, Trackernet endpoints on cloud.tfl.gov.uk count towards your subscription, although due to the limitations to the current platform, we’re not rate limiting on keys currently. The feeds on cloud.tfl.gov.uk are in the process of being re-platformed and we’ll be providing full details of this very soon on the forum as it will require some work for consumers to migrate successfully to the new platform.
Many thanks,
James
Hi James,
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep an eye out for the full details.

Hi @richardhawthorn we’ve just added a News post about the re-platforming that James mentioned - take a look at this: ALERT: Changes to legacy Trackernet and ESUI feeds
Many thanks
