# `nearby(location, [opt])` This method can be used to find stations close to a location. Note that it is not supported by every profile/endpoint. `location` must be an [*FPTF* `location` object](https://github.com/public-transport/friendly-public-transport-format/blob/1.0.1/spec/readme.md#location-objects). With `opt`, you can override the default options, which look like this: ```js { distance: null, // maximum walking distance in meters poi: false, // return points of interest? stations: true, // return stations? stationLines: false, // parse & expose lines of the station? language: 'en' // language to get results in } ``` ## Response 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) client.nearby({ type: 'location', latitude: 52.5137344, longitude: 13.4744798 }, {distance: 400}) .then(console.log) .catch(console.error) ``` The response may look like this: ```js [ { type: 'stop', id: '900000120001', name: 'S+U Frankfurter Allee', location: { type: 'location', latitude: 52.513616, longitude: 13.475298 }, products: { suburban: true, subway: true, tram: true, bus: true, ferry: false, express: false, regional: false }, distance: 56 }, { type: 'stop', id: '900000120540', name: 'Scharnweberstr./Weichselstr.', location: { type: 'location', latitude: 52.512339, longitude: 13.470174 }, products: { /* … */ }, distance: 330 }, { type: 'stop', id: '900000160544', name: 'Rathaus Lichtenberg', location: { type: 'location', latitude: 52.515908, longitude: 13.479073 }, products: { /* … */ }, distance: 394 } ] ```
