pydelijn

A Python package to retrieve realtime data of passages at stops of De Lijn, the public transport company in Flanders (Belgium)

Main purpose at the moment is to feed a sensor in Home-Assistant

Important note: a developer account needs to be created at https://data.delijn.be to generate a subscription key for the api's.

Install

pip install pydelijn
