About the API

What this endpoint does.

Train data is split across a dozen railway sources, each with its own format and quirks. This family of endpoints normalises it into the five calls developers ask for most: search trains between two stations, look up a train, read its full route, follow live running status, and check a PNR.

Queries are built around the station codes your users already know — MMCT to NDLS, not “Mumbai Central to New Delhi” — and every response carries arrival, departure, duration, classes and fare where available.

Who builds on this

Built for the teams shipping real products.

  1. 01

    Travel & ticketing

    Show live train options, seats and fares inside a booking flow without maintaining railway scrapers.

  2. 02

    IRCTC-adjacent apps

    Surface PNR status so travellers stop refreshing the IRCTC page themselves before their trip.

  3. 03

    Logistics (parcel)

    Verify train routes and running days before promising parcel or cargo timelines to a customer.

Free tier

Ship on this API free, then pay only when your calls outgrow it.

  • A free monthly request allowance on your first key — enough to build and test.
  • The same key works across every endpoint, so you can switch APIs as you grow.
  • When the free requests end, upgrade to paid — your code and endpoints don’t change.

Every endpoint includes a free monthly request allowance — the size differs from API to API. When your free requests run out, you move to a paid plan with the same key. No card needed to start.
