lc2irail

An API, compliant to the original iRail API, based on linkedconnections.

This project provides a lightweight API, based on the Lumen microframework. It aims at providing an API for Belgian rail, similar to the original iRail api, but with more efficient data structures and caching

Installation

• Run composer install
• Run composer install for vendor/irail/stations
• Set APC to have at least 512MB of cache!

Enpoints

Time can be passed on as ISO8601 timestamps.

Liveboard by station id

• liveboard/{id}
• liveboard/{id}/{timestamp}

Get a liveboard containing departures for a certain station. The ID is the 7 digit UIC ID, or the 9 digit HAFAS station ID

Liveboard by station name

• liveboard/{name}
• liveboard/{name}/{timestamp}

This enpoint provides similar functionality as the endpoint described above, however, it allows searching stations by name.

Vehicle

• vehicle/{id}/{yyyyMMdd}

Where id is the name of the train, e.g. IC837, and yyyyMMdd is the year, month, day of departure for which the train should be retrieved

Route

• connections/{from}/{to}/departing/{timestamp}
• connections/{from}/{to}/arriving/{timestamp}
• connections/{from}/{to}/{departureTimestamp}/{arrivalTimestamp} Where from and to can be either station ids or names.

This allows you to either get routes departing after or arriving before a certain time, or to get all routes departing after a certain time and arriving before an upper time bound.

Language

• ?lang={ISO2 language}
