blinktaginc / node-gtfs-realtime Goto Github PK

Hi there - great project, I'm actually hoping to use it with BART's feed. However, the example in the README errors like so:

% npx gtfs-realtime http://api.bart.gov/gtfsrt/tripupdate.aspx

Downloading GTFS-Realtime from http://api.bart.gov/gtfsrt/tripupdate.aspx
Error: https://api.bart.gov/gtfsrt/tripupdate.aspx: 403 Forbidden

I went here: https://www.bart.gov/schedules/developers/gtfs-realtime

And checked the feed URL from BART and got https://api.bart.gov/gtfsrt/tripupdate.aspx from them. Then tried that (https URL rather than http) but same issue:

 % npx gtfs-realtime https://api.bart.gov/gtfsrt/tripupdate.aspx

Is this something you've come across? I'll dig around and see if I can figure out what's causing the 403 from BART.

Hello!
I was evaluating libraries for a real-time project, saw node-gtfs might be a good beginning point and then noticed the start of this project! The project would be consuming GTFS-rt data and it looks like you've got a base going here. I wanted to check before diving in if y'all would be open to PRs that further develop the tools available to folks who would use node-gtfs-realtime as a library, things like processing and query tools, Typescript bindings, etc.

Thanks so much!

I just started poking at the BART GTFS-RT api and was VERY confused at the output. Thanks for writing this project, it's going to be an essential part of whatever I end up building.
