db-monitor v0.2.0

db-monitor 🔭

Fetch departures at DB stations. (You may get blacklisted.)

Installing

npm install db-monitor

Usage

const monitor = require('db-monitor')

const stations = ['8002553'] // array of station ids
const interval = 10 * 1000 // every 10 seconds

const departures = monitor(stations, interval)
departures.on('error', console.error)
departures.on('data', console.log)

setTimeout(() => {
	departures.stop() // stop querying
}, interval * 3)

The stream will emit Friendly Public Transport Format 1.0.1 departures that look like this:

{
	when: '2017-05-22T14:47:00+02:00',
	delay: 480,
	station: {
		type: 'station',
		id: '692757'
		name: 'Bahnhof Altona, Hamburg',
		location: {
			type: 'location',
			latitude: 53.551663,
			longitude: 9.934231
		},
		products: // …
	},
	line: {
		type: 'line',
		id: 'bus-283',
		name: 'Bus 283',
		mode: 'bus',
		product: 'bus'
	},
	trip: 329143,
	direction: 'Langenfelder Damm, Hamburg'
}
// …
{
	when: '2017-05-22T15:02:00+02:00',
	delay: 0,
	station: {
		type: 'station',
		id: '8098553',
		name: 'Hamburg-Altona(S)',
		location: {
			type: 'location',
			latitude: 53.551267,
			longitude: 9.934698
		},
		products: // …
	},
	line: {
		type: 'line',
		id: 's-1',
		name: 'S 1',
		mode: 'train',
		product: 'suburban'
	},
	trip: 247000,
	direction: 'Wedel(Holst)'
}

Note: A stream created by calling monitor(…) does not stop calling the API if you unpipe it. You need to manually call departures.stop().
