The intent of this project is to make it easy to use up to date information from the New Orleans RTA. It exposes json endpoints for the GTFS data and a websocket endpoint for the realtime information.
I hope to create client libraries for Android and ios.
There is currently no documentation for this API but I am working on documentation for the underlying GTFS and Realtime data.
There is currently a realtime map hosted here:
http://norta.simst.im/?routes[]=12&routes[]=11&stale=true
I'm hoping to support a hosted server but still checking on the legality of it. You can deploy your own server if you have an API key from NORTA.
This is a Phoenix application so you can mostly follow their guide except for a few tweaks. I'm going to lay out the steps here:
- Make sure you have a heroku account and a working install of heroku toolbelt
- Create your heroku app (you can put a name after create for a custom name
heroku create myappnam --buildpack.....)
$ heroku create --buildpack "https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git"
Creating mysterious-meadow-6277... done, stack is cedar-14
Buildpack set. Next release on mysterious-meadow-6277 will use https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git.

Git remote heroku added
- Add the phoeinix static buildpack:
$ heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static.git
Buildpack added. Next release on mysterious-meadow-6277 will use:
1. https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git
2. https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static.git
Run `git push heroku master` to create a new release using these buildpacks.
- Add the postgres hobby addon
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
- Generate a secret
$ mix phoenix.gen.secret
xvafzY4y01jYuzLm3ecJqo008dVnU3CN4f+MamNd1Zue4pXvfvUjbiXT8akaIF53
- set
SECRET_KEY_BASEconfig variable
heroku config:set SECRET_KEY_BASE="xvafzY4y01jYuzLm3ecJqo008dVnU3CN4f+MamNd1Zue4pXvfvUjbiXT8akaIF53"
- Set your hostname to the heroku hostname you created in step 1
heroku config:set HOSTNAME="mysterious-meadow-6277"
- Set your norta API key
heroku config:set NORTA_API_KEY="myapikey123"
- Run the database migrations
heroku run mix ecto.migrate
