vbb-rest
vbb-rest is a public transport REST API, a clean alternative to the VBB HAFAS API.
installing & running
access to Redis
It is recommended that you let bvg-rest cache HAFAS responses within a Redis cache. To use this feature, set $REDIS_URL (e.g. to redis://localhost:6379/1 when running Redis locally).
via Docker
A Docker image is available as derhuerst/vbb-rest:6.
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 derhuerst/vbb-rest:6
Note: The Docker image does not contain the Redis server.
manually
git clone https://github.com/derhuerst/vbb-rest.git
cd vbb-rest
git checkout 6
npm install
export HOSTNAME='my-vbb-rest-api.example.org'
npm run build
redis-server &
npm start
To keep the API running permanently, use tools like forever or systemd.
