mta-bustime

🚌 Node.js wrapper for MTA-BusTime REST API

Installation

npm install mta-bustime --save

Usage

First, create a BusTime object with your API key.

const BusTime = require('mta-bustime')

var bustime = new BusTime(API_KEY)

Then, use the wrapper functions to make requests to the API endpoints and retrieve the responses

// OneBusAway API
bustime.agenciesWithCoverage({/* options */},function(err,res,body) { /* do something with response */ })
bustime.routesForAgency('MTA NYCT',{/* options */},function(err,res,body) { /* do something with response */ })
bustime.stopsForRoute('MTA NYCT_B70',{includePolylines:false /* , more options */ },function(err,res,body) { /* do something with response */ })


var LineRef ='B70',
  DirectionRef = 0,
  MonitoringRef = 308194

// SIRI API
bustime.stopMonitoring({LineRef,DirectionRef,MonitoringRef},function(err,res,body) { /* do something with response */ })

For more information on the API endpoints and available query options for each, see the references below: http://bustime.mta.info/wiki/Developers/OneBusAwayRESTfulAPI http://bustime.mta.info/wiki/Developers/SIRIStopMonitoring
