Installation

npm install db-prices

Usage

prices() returns a Promise that will resolve with a list of offers.

const prices = require('db-prices')

prices(from, to, [date], [opt]).then()

from and to must be station IDs like '8000105'. date must be a Date object; if empty, the current datetime will be used.

With opt, you can override the default options, which look like this:

{
	class: 			2, 	// 1st class or 2nd class
	noICETrains: 		false,
	transferTime: 		0, 	// in minutes
	duration: 		1440, 	// search for routes in the next n minutes
	preferFastRoutes: 	true,
	travellers: [{ 		// one or more
		bc:	0, 	// BahnCard ID (see https://gist.github.com/juliuste/202bb04f450a79f8fa12a2ec3abcd72d)
		typ: 	"E", 	// E: adult: K: child; B: baby -- BUG: child and baby dont work ATM
		alter: 	30 	// age
	}],
}

Response

The result will be a list of Friendly Public Transport Format journey objects.

With from = '8000105', to = '8011160' and date = new Date('2016-08-17T00:00:00.000Z'), the result looked like this:
