**A client for the "mobile APIs" of [HAFAS](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAFAS) public transport management systems**.

|
||
|
||
## Background
|
||
|
||
[A company called HaCon](https://hacon.de) sells [a public transport management system called HAFAS](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAFAS). It is [used by public transport providers across Europe](https://gist.github.com/derhuerst/2b7ed83bfa5f115125a5) to provide routing and departure information to their customers.
|
||
|
||
Most customers get their own, **separate HAFAS deployments**; They all use the same terminology and API calls, but have slightly different versions, configurations and sets of enabled features. Using [endpoint-specific customisations that we call *profiles*](p), **`hafas-client` abstracts most of these differences away, and supports additional features in some cases**. Check the [*supported networks/endpoints* list](#supported-networksendpoints) for more info.
|
||
|
||
*Note:* Currently, **`hafas-client` only supports "mobile API" endpoints**, which are designed for and used by the respective official mobile app(s); These endpoints almost always have `mgate.exe` in the URL. This library *does not* support "open API" endpoints (often they have `rest-proxy` or `openapi` in the URL) yet, but [#134](https://github.com/public-transport/hafas-client/pull/134) contains work in progress.
|
||
|
||
Strictly speaking, permission is necessary to use `hafas-client` with a HAFAS "mobile" endpoint. It merely tries to remove the *technical* barrier of accessing the data, in order to kick-start an ecosystem or apps and services that would eventually rely on [*openly available* data](https://opendatahandbook.org/solutions/en/Public-Transport-Data/).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Installing
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
npm install hafas-client
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### with [react-native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/)
|
||
|
||
`hafas-client` as well its dependencies use [Node-builtin modules](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/) and [Node globals](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html). To be able to use it within react-native, follow [the instructions at `node-libs-react-native`](https://github.com/parshap/node-libs-react-native/blob/3/README.md#usage).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Pick the [profile](p) for a HAFAS endpoint that covers the area you want to get data for. Pass the profile and an expressive name for your program into the `createClient` entry point of this library:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const createClient = require('hafas-client')
|
||
const dbProfile = require('hafas-client/p/db')
|
||
|
||
// create a client with the Deutsche Bahn profile
|
||
const client = createClient(dbProfile, 'my-awesome-program')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can now use the `client` object to query the HAFAS endpoint configured in the [`db` profile](p/db):
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// Berlin Jungfernheide to München Hbf
|
||
client.journeys('8011167', '8000261', {results: 1})
|
||
.then(console.log).catch(console.error)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`journeys()` returns a [`Promise`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/promise) that will resolve with an object with an array `journeys` that contains one [*Friendly Public Transport Format* (*FPTF*) `1.2.1` `journey`](https://github.com/public-transport/friendly-public-transport-format/blob/1.2.1/spec/readme.md#journey).
