Usage

This package contains data in the Friendly Public Transport Format.

stations

Using deinbus.stations, you can get all stations operated bei Deinbus.

const stations = require('deinbus').stations

stations().then(console.log)

Returns a Promise that will resolve in an array of stations in the Friendly Public Transport Format which looks as follows:

[
    {
        type: 'station',
        id: 'BEZ',
        name: 'Berlin (ZOB)',
        destinations: [
            'ASL',
            'ERF',
            'FRA'
            // …
        ]
    }
    // …
]

journeys

Using deinbus.journeys, you can get directions and prices for routes from A to B.

const journeys = require('deinbus').journeys

journeys(origin, destination, date = Date.now(), opt = defaults)

const BerlinZOB = 'BEZ'
const Leipzig = 'LPZ'
const date = new Date() // ignores specific time, searches the entire day (based on Europe/Berlin timezone)

journeys(BerlinZOB, Leipzig, date)
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error)

Returns a Promise that will resolve with an array of journeys in the Friendly Public Transport Format which looks as follows. Note that the legs are not fully spec-compatible, as the schedule is missing and for API-specific reasons, the journey always contains exactly one leg (see also: transfers key).
