Instant Unique Entity Number (UEN) lookup and corporate entity validation against 2.1+ million Singapore companies, businesses, LLPs, and societies.
Inspect SSIC primary and secondary industrial classifications, registered entity status (Live, Struck Off), incorporation history, and registered office addresses.
Transit & Urban Intelligence Guides
Authoritative, data-backed editorial guides to navigating Singapore’s transport, motoring, cycling, and urban landscape with confidence.
Covers expressway EMAS & breakdown towing, MRT platform crowding & schedules, cycling paths & Walk Dry linkways, bus crowd indicators (SEA/SDA/LSD), EV network tariffs & buying tips, satellite ERP 2.0 / OBU, cross-border transit, and budget parking schemes.
🔄 Ongoing Curation & Structural Maintenance
Maintaining high public trust and pristine data quality requires rigorous ongoing curation. SingaNow operates an autonomous data ingestion and validation architecture designed for 99.99% uptime and low latency:
Background micro-sync crons poll LTA DataMall, NEA, and HDB endpoints at intervals calibrated to real-world change rates: 30–60s for bus arrivals and carpark vacancies, 10m for MRT crowds, 15m for weather radar, and daily for geospatial linkways.
Data payloads are stored locally in write-ahead-logging (WAL) SQLite tables and atomic cache files. This guarantees sub-15ms page loads, eliminates single-point-of-failure bottlenecks, and shields upstream agency servers from load spikes.
If an upstream agency API experiences temporary maintenance or network latency, SingaNow immediately serves cached telemetry with stale indicators, ensuring zero downtime for commuters standing at bus stops or expressway junctions.
Every guide, fare table, bus bridging protocol, and regulatory guideline undergoes periodic manual review against official Government Gazettes, Public Transport Council (PTC) tariff releases, and LTA announcements.
🤖 Native AI Protocols & Developer Platform
SingaNow is engineered from the ground up as Singapore's open machine-readable urban intelligence layer. We deliver standard protocols enabling autonomous AI agents, LLMs, developer tools, and third-party software to query live city data with zero authentication friction.
Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP)
The cutting-edge specification for direct-to-native tool invocation. Bypasses proxy overhead with declarative manual discovery (/utcp/manual.json, /.well-known/utcp.json), direct tool endpoints (/utcp/tools/{tool_name}), and universal execution (/utcp/call).
Features an interactive UTCP Inspector UI with live testing, latency budgeting, and ready-to-use client code generators for Python (python-utcp) and TypeScript (@utcp/core).
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
Fully compliant Model Context Protocol server supporting Server-Sent Events (SSE) and HTTP streaming. Enables Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue.dev, and agentic workflows to seamlessly inspect Singapore transit, parking, weather, and business registries.
Includes a live web-based MCP Inspector test harness, prompts catalog, resources, OpenAPI specifications, and an OpenAI Function Calling adapter.
Interactive Developer REST APIs
15+ unified, production-ready REST endpoints returning standardized UTF-8 JSON payloads with generous rate limits, stale-while-revalidate protection, and complete OpenAPI 3.0 specifications.
Interactive playground with copyable cURL, JavaScript Fetch, and Python requests snippets for instant integration into applications, bots, or research scripts.
Standardized LLM Context Discovery
SingaNow implements the emerging llms.txt standard to allow AI web crawlers, LLM agents, and retrieval engines to ingest structured information cleanly within token budgets.
Access the curated summary index via llms.txt or comprehensive tool definitions and endpoint schemas via llms-full.txt.
🛠️ Engineering Principles
Zero-Bloat Speed
Engineered with pure vanilla JavaScript and CSS, optimized SQLite caching, and sub-15KB initial payloads. No bulky JavaScript bundles, no hydration lag, and instant rendering on mobile networks and legacy devices.
Privacy by Design
Your commute patterns, favourite bus stops, and search history remain strictly on your device. SingaNow runs no surveillance trackers, no advertising cookies, and requires no user accounts or intrusive permissions.
Atomic Resilience
Background micro-sync cron jobs continuously poll official LTA, NEA, and HDB endpoints. Atomic SQLite WAL caching and stale-while-revalidate protection guarantee sub-50ms responses even during upstream API disruptions.
Open Machine Readiness
Public information belongs in the hands of the public. By adopting modern open specifications (UTCP, MCP, OpenAPI, JSON-LD), SingaNow bridges human interfaces with autonomous systems for a smarter city.
Data Sources & Official Attribution
SingaNow utilizes official public data feeds supplied under the terms of the Singapore Open Data Licence by statutory boards including the Land Transport Authority (LTA DataMall), National Environment Agency (NEA), Housing & Development Board (HDB), Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), and ACRA.
Independent Civic Tech
SingaNow was conceived and developed as an independent civic project by Crax0r. Built with pride for Singapore's commuters, drivers, and developers to experience real-time urban data with zero barriers, zero trackers, and maximum speed.
