db-vendo-client
A client for the new "vendo" bahn.de APIs, a drop-in replacement for hafas-client.
This is a very early version. What works:
- rudimentary
/journeysincluding lowest prices /locations,/locations/nearby/departures,/arrivals(requires a DB API Key for RIS::Boards, maybe you find one somewhere ;)
What doesn't work (yet, see TODO's scattered around the code):
/journeysdetails like scheduledDays, stop/station groups, tickets, some line details .../journeysuses different tripIds compared to departure and arrival boards...- certain stop details like products for
/locationsand geopositions for departures and arrivals - some query options like BahnCards etc.
- all other endpoints
Feel free report anything that you stumble upon via Issues or create a PR :)
Also consult the relevant documentation of 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 API (see 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. It shows how you can use db-vendo-client together with hafas-rest-api in order to run a FPTF API server.
There are community-maintained TypeScript typings available as @types/hafas-client.
For the /departures and /arrivals endpoints, DB_API_KEY and DB_CLIENT_ID environment variables for RIS::Boards have to be set.
