TfL London Transport Status Scraper
Extract live line statuses and disruptions across the Transport for London (TfL) network — the Tube, London Overground, DLR, Elizabeth line, Tram, National Rail in London, buses, river bus and the Emirates Air Line.
The TfL Unified API publishes line-by-line operational status with severity codes, disruption reasons and validity periods. This Actor wraps the Line/Mode/{mode}/Status endpoint, returning a clean per-line JSON record with the worst current status, reason text and disruption count.
Why scrape TfL data?
- Mobility apps: surface live disruptions in route planners and chatbots.
- Workforce analytics: correlate London worker arrival times with disruption events.
- Insurance: support delay-repay reimbursement automation.
- News & alerts: monitor severe service disruptions in real time.
- Operations research: build long-term datasets of reliability per line.

FAQ
Do I need a TfL API key? No — the status endpoint is open. For very high-volume use you should register a free app at api.tfl.gov.uk.
How often does the data refresh? TfL pushes status updates as they happen; expect sub-minute freshness during operating hours.
Why does "Good Service" sometimes look like no disruptions? Because there aren't any! Toggle disruptionsOnly to false to always emit a record per line.
