# The Transportation Products API

The Transportation Products API is used to access a dummy product catalog that contains information regarding fictitious transportation products. It is an [App API](../integration-guides/application-apis) constructed in Airkit for the purposes of testing and demonstration. It does not display real product information and does not require any authentication.
