02Data
What you can sync.
- Rail predictions
- Bus positions
- Incidents
- Stations
Load WMATA API rail predictions on a schedule and keep every release in your Lake for trends over time.
Need more? Name any other WMATA API data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- An API key
WMATA API uses an API key. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick WMATA API.
Open Lake, pick WMATA API in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the WMATA API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the WMATA API documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example rail predictions and bus positions), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then WMATA API data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
