opentransportdata.swiss remake?

Open phiwut opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Will this project be remade to use the information from opentransportdata.swiss instead of crawling the Sbb page? Would be a lot faster and more independent from the Sbb page.

Unfortunately opentransportdata.swiss doesn't provide an API which allows routing from point A to point B with transfers.

It also requires an API-Key, so users would need to register on opentransportdata.swiss first.

Then the only option would be to start a separate project, that uses the data from opentransportdata.swiss and provides an API for routing from A to B (probably a modified A* algorithm)... Would anybody be willing to help to start a project like that?

Maybe you should take a look at the open trip planner: https://github.com/opentripplanner
