TranslinkJS

A typed Javascript Translink RTTI and GTFS API wrapper

Installation

yarn add translinkjs

or

npm install translinkjs

Usage

translinkjs currently supports both the Translink RTTI and GTFS (realtime) APIs, documentation for which can be found here.

To use the RTTI API:

import { RTTI } from "translinkjs";

const rtti = new RTTI("API_KEY");

const buses = await rtti.buses({ routeNumber: 99 });
const routes = await rtti.routesThroughStop(54877);
// etc...

To use the GTFS API:

import { TranslinkGTFS } from "translinkjs";

const gtfs = new TranslinkGTFS("API_KEY");

// There are three endpoints available through realtime GTFS:

// Trip updates (how on schedule each bus is)
const tripUpdates = await gtfs.tripUpdates();

// Vehicle positions (where each bus is)
const vehiclePositions = await gtfs.vehiclePositions();

// and Alerts
const alerts = await gtfs.alerts();

You can get an API key on Translink's website

Structure

Each API endpoint response is turned into a typed object, which has JS-conventional and understandable property names. Some confusing values are also converted to more intuitive ones.
