# `radar({north, west, south, east}, [opt])`

Use this method to find all vehicles currently in an area. Note that it is not supported by every profile/endpoint.

`north`, `west`, `south` and `eath` must be numbers (e.g. `52.52411`). Together, they form a [bounding box](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box).

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

```js
{
	results: 256, // maximum number of vehicles
	duration: 30, // compute frames for the next n seconds
	frames: 3, // nr of frames to compute
	polylines: true, // return a track shape for each vehicle?
	subStops: true, // parse & expose sub-stops of stations?
	entrances: true, // parse & expose entrances of stops/stations?
	language: 'en' // language to get results in
}
```

## Response

*Note:* As stated in the [*Friendly Public Transport Format* v2 draft spec](https://github.com/public-transport/friendly-public-transport-format/blob/3bd36faa721e85d9f5ca58fb0f38cdbedb87bbca/spec/readme.md), the returned `departure` and `arrival` times include the current delay. The `departureDelay`/`arrivalDelay` fields express how much they differ from the schedule.

As an example, we're going to use the [VBB profile](../p/vbb):

```js
const createClient = require('hafas-client')
const vbbProfile = require('hafas-client/p/vbb')

const client = createClient(vbbProfile, 'my-awesome-program')

client.radar({
	north: 52.52411,
	west: 13.41002,
	south: 52.51942,
	east: 13.41709
}, {results: 5})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error)
```

The response may look like this:

If you pass `polylines: true`, each movement will have a `polyline` field, as documented in [the corresponding section in the `trip()` docs](trip.md#polyline-option), with the exception that station info is missing.
