APIs in City Mobility: A Use Case
summary
An API platform exposing public-transport schedules, driver data and ticket issuance so third parties can sell and validate fares, built with Node.js backends, an API gateway and Oracle Identity Cloud for access control. Mobile apps use barcode libraries and geocoding for in-bus barcode validation; the project launched for Connexxion in six weeks, includes endpoint analytics, and identifies phone lighting and reader reliability as primary operational risks.
