# db-vendo-client
**A client for the new "vendo" bahn.de APIs, a drop-in replacement for [hafas-client](https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/).**

This is a very early version. What works:
* rudimentary `/journeys` including lowest prices
What doesn't work (yet):
* `/journeys` details like scheduledDays, stop/station groups, tickets, some line details (see TODO's scattered around the code)...
* all other endpoints
Also consult the relevant **[documentation](https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-rest-api/docs/readme.md)** of [hafas-client](https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/) (but beware of the limited functionality of db-vendo-client).
## Background
After DB has switched to the new "vendo" platform for bahn.de and DB Navigator, the old [HAFAS](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAFAS) api (see [hafas-client](https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/)) seems to become less and less reliable (server unreachable, missing prices, etc.) This project aims to enable easy switching to the new APIs. However, not all information will be available from the new APIs.
Strictly speaking, permission is necessary to use this library with the bahn.de APIs.
## Usage
See an example in [api.js](api.js). It shows how you can use `db-vendo-client` together with `hafas-rest-api` in order to run a [FPTF](https://github.com/public-transport/friendly-public-transport-format) API server.
There are [community-maintained TypeScript typings available as `@types/hafas-client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/hafas-client).
