A collection of functions fore node.js to acess train shedules, arrivals/departures, station search and ticketinformation from the OEBB(ÖBB)
I had a lot of help help from these great ressources
and a documentation file I found on the web
npm --save install oebb-api- searchStationsNew
- searchStations
- getJourneys
- getStationBoardData
- getStationBoardDataOptions
- getStationSearchOptions
It returns an promise that resolves to an array of possible stations matching name
const oebb = require('oebb-api');
oebb.searchStationsNew("Wien").then(console.log);returns
[{ number: 1190100,
longitude: 16372134,
latitude: 48208547,
name: '',
meta: 'Wien' },
{ number: 1290401,
longitude: 16375326,
latitude: 48185507,
name: 'Wien Hbf (U)',
meta: '' },
...
...
...]searchStation is very similar to searchStationsNew it however can take more options and returns more information. You can call getStationSearchOptions to get a prefilled options object.
const oebb = require('oebb-api');
var options = oebb.getStationSearchOptions();
options.S="wien h";
oebb.searchStations(options).then(console.log);It returns an array with matching stations, POIs, etc.

|---|---|
| value: | name of the station |
| id | no idea |
| extId | used in other queries; same as number (not quite shure if the really are the same all the time) |
| type | int representing the type |
| typeStr | the type as string |
| xcoord | longitude |
| ycoord | latitude |
| state | no idea |
| prodClass | no idea |
| weight | I am guessing it represents how close a match the station is to the string |
It returns an object containing the options for searchStations
const oebb = require('oebb-api');
var options = oebb.getStationSearchOptions();| Name | default value | value | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| REQ0JourneyStopsS0A | 1 | An int between 1 and 255. | It selects the type of station to return e.g. 1 is [Bhf/Hst] |
| REQ0JourneyStopsB | 12 | An int greater 0 | the amount of results which are returned |
| S | a string | the string to match | |
| js | true |
boolean | no idea what it does |
It returns a promise resolving to an object containing arrival or depature information for a specific station. You can get a prefilled options object, by calling getStationBoardDataOptions
const oebb = require('oebb-api');
var options = oebb.getStationBoardDataOptions();
options.evaId=1191601;//Ottakring (Wien)
oebb.getStationBoardData(options).then(console.log);returns:

it describes the delay or other status if there is one. If there is one it contains an object formated as follows:
| Name | description |
|---|---|
| status | current status; "Ausfall" if canceled |
| dlm | how many minutes too late |
| dlt | actual arrival time |
| dld | actual arrival date |
it is very similar to rt I think it describes the delay for the arrival, but I am not certain.
| Name | description |
|---|---|
| status | current status "Ausfall" if canceled then rt too is canceld and rt.status= "Ausfall" |
| dlm | never seen it other than empty |
| dlt | never seen it other than empty |

slects which modes of transports should be listed
forexample if I set productsFilter to 0000110000000000 only s-bahn and regionalzüge are shown

returns a promise, that resolves to routes from to at date. To add the offers, if they exist, set add_offers to true.
add_offers is by default false.
date is a node-datetime object. It has to be imported through npm
const oebb = require('oebb-api');
oebb.searchStationsNew("Wien Hbf").then((res)=>{
var from = res[0];
oebb.searchStationsNew("Venezia Santa Lucia").then((res)=>{
var to=res[0];
oebb.getJourneys(from, to, true).then((res)=>{
console.log(res);
});
})
});####from and to
they are formated:
from/to = {
number: 1190100,
longitude: 16372134,
latitude: 48208547,
name: 'Wien',
};This returns for example (connections describes the journey and offer contains the information about the price etc.):
(The console output will hide most of it, but it is there)
