node-skanetrafiken

Node.js wrapper for Skånetrafiken's Open API. I recently had a night off and thought it would be fun to build a small node.js-wrapper for their API and in the meantime learn more about publishing npm projects and such. Aside from wrapping all endpoints in handy functions, providing the possibility to receive the data from their API in JSON instead of XML is a handy feature as well.

Skånetrafikens official API documentation can be found here and this wrapper is written for the latest version (v2.2).

Implemented endpoints

Below are the implemented endpoints.

• [x] /querypage.asp
• [x] /resultspage.asp
• [x] /querystation.asp
• [x] /neareststation.asp
• [x] /stationresults.asp
• [x] /trafficmeans.asp
• [x] /journeypath.asp

Documentation for this package can be found in the Wiki.

Limitations

XML to JSON conversion

I am currently using a package called xml2js for the conversion between XML and JSON and no other formatting of the data will be provided. It is to be used as-is. In the future, returning data in XML Should also be supported.

Installation

This package is published to npm and can easily be installed using

npm install node-skanetrafiken

Usage

Below shows a simple example of finding a stop by name. Docs for all endpoints can be found in the Wiki.

// demo.js

var nodeSkanetraiken = require('node-skanetrafiken');

nodeSkanetraiken.findStop({ name: 'Kristianstad' }, function(results, err) {
    if (!err) {
        // Do something with the results
    }
});
