Ruby::Irail

IRail makes Belgian railway schedule easily available for anyone.

Check it out on http://project.irail.be/ or http://data.irail.be/

There are already several wrappers available in different languages. This is a Ruby wrapper for their API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ruby-irail'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ruby-irail

Usage

require "ruby-irail"

# get a list of all mivb/stib stations in brussels

irail = IRail::API.new(:stib) # use :mivb symbol instead of :stib if you want
irail.stations

# get a list of all belgian train stations

irail          = IRail::API.new # by default it takes the nmbs/sncb provider but you can also use :sncb or :nmbs symbols
train_stations = irail.stations

# get train trips from one station to another

origin      = train_stations.first
destination = train_stations.last
irail.connections(origin, destination)

#get train trip information (all stops for a train)

irail.vehicle("BE.NMBS.IC2240") # the vehicle ids cans be found when querying for a connection

#get departures from a specific station

irail.departures("BE.NMBS.008813003") # get station identifiers from the stations call

#get arrivals to a specific station

irail.arrivals("BE.NMBS.008813003")
