TfL Trackernet feeds cloud.tfl.gov.uk domain removal

Stopped workingSubscribe to TfL Trackernet feedsShare

On August 31, 2024, the cloud.tfl.gov.uk host was retired. Requests targeting this domain for TfL Trackernet feeds fail after this date.


What to use instead of these calls

Direct calls to the Trackernet feeds on the api.tfl.gov.uk host under the trackernet path, such as trackernet LineStatus, using a TfL API Portal subscription key. Moving requires more than updating the host, as a person must generate a new API Portal subscription key to sign the requests.

The new feeds are signed with a TfL API Portal subscription key that a person must create.

In TfL Trackernet feeds's words

The old cloud.tfl.gov.uk domain will be retired on Saturday 31 August.
