MBTA
Sync MBTA routes, stops, schedules, and service alerts.
The MBTA connector syncs Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull routes, stops, trips, schedules, predictions, vehicles, and alerts from the MBTA V3 API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.
MBTA is not a certified connector yet. Ingest authors one from the vendor's API documentation when a customer asks for it, runs it against the real API, and only then lists it as deployable. Request it and it moves up the queue.
What you can sync
Ingest lands the following MBTA data in your warehouse or lake, each as its own table on the schedule you pick:
- Routes and stops
- Trips and schedules
- Vehicle positions
- Service alerts
Authentication
API key (x-api-key header). Request a free key from the MBTA developer portal; it raises the anonymous rate limit.
Credentials go into a form, never into a chat, and are held in a secret store under your own path. Only the key NAMES ever reach the control database.
