Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

MTA Realtime Subway Departures Client

This is a JavaScript client for New York City's MTA GTFS-realtime Subway API.

🚧 Installation

npm install --save mta-realtime-subway-departures

ℹ️ Usage

Call client.departures() with a subway complex ID to get the next subway departures leaving that station.

Supported complexes are defined in this file.

const { createClient } = require('mta-realtime-subway-departures');

// Get your API key at https://api.mta.info
const MTA_API_KEY = 'Your-API-Key-Here';
const client = createClient(MTA_API_KEY);

client.departures(625)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
  });

// Also accepts an array of complex IDs.
client.departures([625, 232])
  .then((responses) => {
    // Responses is an array of response objects.
    console.log(responses);
  });

A response object includes subway departure data:

🔃 Response structure

A response object contains the following properties:

| Field | Description | |------------------------|-------------| | response.lines | Departures are categorized into each separate line that serves the complex (e.g. there are two lines at West 4th Street, the 6th Av - Culver BDFM line and the 8th Av - Fulton St ACE line) | | response.lines[index].departures | Departures are split between north-bound and southbound trains | | response.lines[index].departures.N | An array of departure objects. N means North, and refers to "Uptown and Bronx-bound trains" and "Times Square Shuttle to Grand Central" | | response.lines[index].departures.S | An array of departure objects. S means South, and refers to "Downtown and Brooklyn-bound trains" and "Times Square Shuttle to Times Square" |

Each departure object includes time, a unix timestamp of the next departure, the routeId, e.g. A, C or E train, and destinationStationId where the train is headed (see mta-subway-stations for a list of stations).
