This Project is very WIP, unstable and far away from being completely functional, unexpected errors can occur
This project generally is going to be the backend for my other project railboard, but the goal is to make an API similar to the bahn.expert API that marudor sadly shut down public support for and the documentation is not available any more.
If you have any questions, I'd love to talk about it with you! Hit me up on Mastodon or Twitter and send me your Discord (I usually don't accept Friend Requests from people that I dont share a Server with) so we can chat!
The Goal of this project is to make the public transport API's of the German Train Service (Deutsche Bahn) more accessible to use in custom projects. The few open APIs the company offers are very limited and the effort to use the APIs the Mobile Apps use is immense (source: trust me).
I think everyone that wants to build something cool should be able to.
In addition to the REST API endpoints that I am building, the clients for the different APIs are completely usable without the rest of the Project.
Documentation is available at https://api.rail.boecker.dev/docs
But which API endpoint should I use?
The Iris endpoint is generally fast, only has data for the current day tho. If you want older/newer data with not as much data per train refer to the Vendo Endpoint, which can also give you journey details.
The ris endpoints also provide generally good data, but don't have as much data from the past/future.
- Major Vendo endpoints
- Iris Station-Board
- Ris API endpoints
- Coach Sequence API
- Hafas API endpoints
- Custom endpoints with data from multiple sources
If you have any feature request of an idea feel free to open an issue
Contributions are always welcome, I'd prefer if you contact me before opening a PR for now tho
