API for Cab Tracker
I have great news to share. Since I wrote about Cabspotting and its amazing feature Cab Tracker, in particular, I’ve been researching ways to create a similar interface. I contacted Stamen Design who has access to the application programming interface (API) of Cab Tracker to see if they would share the API with me so that I could play around with it, “test drive” it with my own GPS devices placed randomly in the city and create the patterns. They said YES!
I am very grateful and excited to have access to such a “cool” and mind-blowing interface. Everything is falling in the right places at the right time. Stay tuned for more exciting news…
Hi Afzal,
I wasn’t able to find your email address on the site. We’re experiencing some dramatic database usage on the Cabspotting server, and I was wondering if it might have something to do with your API usage. Can you shoot me an email at shawn at stamen dot com? Thanks!
I’ve asked my developer to stop accessing the data until further notice. I just sent you an email as well. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Thanks Shawn.
