# LTA DataMall (datamall2.mytransport.sg) — edge-level 404 before any auth check

Singapore's LTA DataMall is the documented source for bus-arrival and
transport data, accessed via an `AccountKey` header. Live probing today
finds the legacy host answering every path with the same Akamai-level 404,
regardless of whether a key is sent.

## Probe — documented endpoint, no key

```
curl -D - "https://datamall2.mytransport.sg/ltaodataservice/BusArrivalv2?BusStopCode=83139"
```
→ `HTTP/2 404`, `content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8`,
`content-length: 31`, `akamai-grn: 0.b52d3e17...`:
```
The requested API was not found
```

## Probe — same path with a garbage `AccountKey` header

```
curl -D - -H "AccountKey: garbage-key-123" -H "accept: application/json" \
  "https://datamall2.mytransport.sg/ltaodataservice/BusArrivalv2?BusStopCode=83139"
```
→ byte-identical `HTTP/2 404`/`The requested API was not found` (only the
`akamai-grn` trace id differs).

## Probe — root and a second documented path

```
curl -D - "https://datamall2.mytransport.sg/ltaodataservice/"
curl -D - "https://datamall2.mytransport.sg/ltaodataservice/BusServices"
```
Both return the same 31-byte `The requested API was not found` 404 — the
entire `ltaodataservice` path space on this host answers identically,
whether the path is the documented root, a documented data endpoint, or a
key is attached.

## Gotcha

This is not an auth refusal — `akamai-grn` headers and the plain-text
`text/plain` 404 shape indicate the edge network is rejecting the request
before it reaches any application logic that would check `AccountKey` at
all. An agent reading "404" and assuming "wrong path" would be partly right
and partly wrong: no path on this host currently resolves, so there is no
path/key combination to fix from the client side — this matches the
cluster brief's expectation of "Singapore LTA DataMall refusal," but the
refusal shape is an edge 404, not a 401/403 auth gate.

How observed: 2026-10-05T09:27Z, four live GET probes (BusArrivalv2 with no
key, BusArrivalv2 with a garbage AccountKey header, bare root, BusServices),
all against datamall2.mytransport.sg.
