Rail in Europe

5 rail providers across Europe, publishing 19 APIs.

5 providers 19 published APIs 22 indexed documents

Rail across Europe — 5 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 19 indexed APIs.

4 of the 5 publish at least one machine-readable API; 1 publish nothing indexed at all. That split is the first thing worth reading here — a vertical can be well represented in a market and still have almost no programmable surface.

By Kin Score band: 2 emerging, 1 developing, 1 thin, and 1 minimal.

Leading by rating: TransportAPI, FlixBus, Trainline, Selectron, and BT Group.

Region membership is derived from three explicit signals — a provider tag, a provider-name pattern, or a stated headquarters in the provider’s own description. This is a map of stated headquarters, not of markets served.

This page is the intersection of two independently computed cohorts: Europe and Rail. A provider appears here only when it is already a member of both. Europe membership is matched on tag, name pattern, stated HQ, so this is a floor rather than a census — coverage gaps show up here as small numbers, not as absent pages.
