mav-stations

A collection of all* stations of Magyar Államvasutak (MÁV, Hungarian State Railways), requested from an endpoint used by their website.

(* All stations that would appear when using the MAV website. This excludes internally used stations or sub-stations like "München Hbf Gl.5-10" with ID "008069685".)

Installing

npm install mav-stations

Note: This Git repo does not contain the actual data, but the npm package does. To retrieve station data, run:

npm run build

Usage

import { readStations } from 'mav-stations';

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

{
  type: 'station',
  id: '005510009', // station ID, used throughout booking system
  name: 'BUDAPEST*',
  aliasNames: ['Bp (BUDAPEST*)'], // if several names for the same station exist, otherwise empty list

// and a lot more…
