      Need a new key? Generate one in your SFMTA developer dashboard.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    You can now use prompts with the integration to access transit data.

    Some examples:

    * `Get real-time bus arrivals using /SFMTA`
    * `Show transit routes with /SFMTA`
    * `Create a transit tracker using /SFMTA`

    <Warning>
      The API limits how often your app can fetch data. If your app loads the same data often, ask the agent to save it locally so it doesn't re-fetch every time.
    </Warning>

    Example prompt for optimization:

    ```
    When using /SFMTA, save the transit schedules so my app doesn't have to fetch them again
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Your SFMTA integration is now ready! Use the `/SFMTA` command in chat to access San Francisco transit data.
