FaSta - Station Facilities Status
deutschebahn.com
A RESTful webservice to retrieve data about the operational state of public elevators and escalators in german railway stations.
ODN API
opendatanetwork.com
The Socrata OpenDataNetwork (ODN) REST API exposes public data, often continuosly updated and enhanced, from many thousands of public
government and non profit agencies.
Much of this data originating from independent sources is fused together to create new, and often
powerful, entity level data. The API, in addition to search and autosuggest capabilities for finding datasets,
enables data based comparisons across geographical regions such as states, counties, metropolitan areas,
cities and zip codes using highly vetted data providers such as US Census, BEA, HUD and others. Comparison data
is preformatted for easy and efficient display on a chart, graph or interactive map.
The API also exposes data organized by narrative style questions a human might ask. The questions can
be rapidly found using an autosuggest style index, and then used to directly access all data needed to
thoroughly and authoritatively answer the question. Retrieved data includes time series (temporally aligned),
tabular, map heavy (includes spatial boundaries), and auto generated unstructured descriptive text.
The ODN API does not duplicate API endpoints or services provided by public sector agencies, but rather,
returns context relevant pre-populated REST URLs, when appropriate, so the caller can access data
directly from the source.
The open source API powers OpenDataNetwork.com, an open source
site; the site highlights myriad uses and provides API badges with contextually relevant API example
REST endpoints and documentation pointers.
Finally, we continuously add new dat sources which appear automatically in the API, so if your favorite data
source is not available, check back soon. You can also join us HERE
and receive updates or let us know which data sources you are most interested in.
App Tokens
Registering for and including a Socrata application token
is required for the ODN API. They can be passed either using the app_token parameter
or the X-App-Token HTTP header.

Veteran Confirmation
va.gov
The Veteran Confirmation API allows you to confirm Veteran status for a given person. This can be useful for offering Veterans discounts or other benefits.
The API will only return “Confirmed” or “Not Confirmed”.
Quickstart Guide
1. Get Access Credentials
Get started by filling out the form on the Apply for VA Lighthouse Developer Access page.
After submitting a request, you will receive your credentials for using the API in the Development environment, which allows you to try it out with mock data before moving to the Production environment.
2. Test the API
In the endpoint documentation below, we've provided a curl command builder for trying out the API before implementation with your app.
Use Test User attributes to populate the request body.
3. Build your app
The base URI for the Veteran Confirmation API in the Sandbox environment is:
https://sandbox-api.va.gov/services/veteran_confirmation/v0
In this environment, use attributes from the list of Test Users. Only Test Users can return a "confirmed" response.
Check out some of our sample apps. Please visit our VA Lighthouse Support portal should you need further assistance.
4. Show us a demo and get access to the Production environment
After building your app, we ask that you give us a demo before we set you up with production credentials. Please see the Path to Production page for more details.
Authorization
This API requires an API key in combination with identifiable information for the person being confirmed listed below. API requests are authorized through a symmetric API token provided in an HTTP header with name apikey. Including more information has a better chance of making a match and returning a Confirmed status.
Required information:
First Name
Last Name
Date of Birth
Social Security Number
Optional information:
Middle Name
Gender
Reference
Sandbox vs. Production Data
APIs accessed via the Sandbox environment are using the same underlying logic as VA’s production APIs; only the underlying data store is different.
Master Veteran Index (MVI)
The Master Veteran Index confirms a user's identity. In Production, several factors are considered to confirm identity. These include: a user’s first name, last name, date of birth and Social Security number. The MVI is mocked in the Sandbox environment. In this environment, the only factor used to confirm identity is the Social Security number.
Rate Limiting
We implemented basic rate limiting of 60 requests per minute. If you exceed this quota, your request will return a 429 status code. You may petition for increased rate limits by emailing and requests will be decided on a case by case basis.
