db-hafas-stations

All Deutsche Bahn (DB) stations, including local public transport (buses, trams...) stops, currently about 290k. Returned by their RIS::Stations and StaDa APIs (DB InfraGO, CC BY 4.0 and OpenStreetMap Contributors). These use the same evaNumbers and names as the DB HAFAS that historically has been the source of this data.

Installation

npm install db-hafas-stations

Note: This Git repo does not contain the data, but the npm package does.

Usage

readSimplifiedStations() is an async generator function yielding Friendly Public Transport Format station and stop objects, read from db-hafas-stations/data.ndjson (~14mb).

import {
	readSimplifiedStations,
	readFullStations,
} from 'db-hafas-stations'

for await const (station of readSimplifiedStations()) {
	console.log(station)
}

{
	type: 'station',
	id: '8000007',
	name: 'Alzey',
	weight: 73.1,
	location: {
		type: 'location',
		latitude: 49.7502,
		longitude: 8.109749
	}
}
// …

readFullStations() is an async generator function yielding objects with more fields, read from db-hafas-stations/full.ndjson (~112mb).

Building

You need to subscribe to both the RIS::Stations and StaDa API and set the corresponding environment variables DB_CLIENT_ID and DB_API_KEY before running npm run fetch to fetch the data from the APIs (run carefully and not frequently, the quotas are very low!) and npm run merge.
