@lynbarry/mvg-api v3.2.0

mvg-api

Node API for MVG departures.

Installation

npm install @lynbarry/mvg-api

Usage

The "getDepartures" function takes up to three parameters:

• station: A String containing the name of the desired station.
• transportTypes: A list of strings containing the types of transport that are supposed to be shown. (u = ubahn, s = sbahn, b = bus, t = tram)
• apiRedirectUrl (Optional): A String containing the URL of a redirect endpoint. If given, the requests will be sent to apiRedirectUrl/mvgEndpoint. You may need this to get around CORS problems when making requests in the frontend. Defaults to the mvg-URL.

Example

const mvgApi = require('@lynbarry/mvg-api');

mvgApi.getDepartures('Harras', ['u', 's', 'b', 't']).then(lines => {
    console.log(lines);
});

Output is a list of departures:

[ { [Number: 0]
    lineNumber: '6',
    lineDestination: 'Klinikum Großhadern',
    lineDepartureIn: 0,
    lineType: 'u' },
  { [Number: 4]
    lineNumber: '6',
    lineDestination: 'Garching-Forschungszentrum',
    lineDepartureIn: 4,
    lineType: 'u' },
  { [Number: 11]
    lineNumber: '6',
    lineDestination: 'Klinikum Großhadern',
    lineDepartureIn: 11,
    lineType: 'u' },
    ...

You can also use the toString method to get a list in human readable form:

2	U6:	Garching-Forschungszentrum,
8	U6:	Klinikum Großhadern,
9	U6:	Fröttmaning,
13	U6:	Garching-Forschungszentrum,
15	U6:	Klinikum Großhadern,
