vbb-rest

vbb-rest is an HTTP server that proxies all requests to the Berlin & Brandenburg public transport (VBB) API. Using the vbb API client library, it wraps the verbose HAFAS interface in a straightforward REST API.

vbb-rest is written in CoffeeScript and embraces prototypal programming, making it easily extendable. It is MIT-licensed.

Installing (globally)

npm install -g vbb-rest

You can now start the vbb-rest server wherever you want.

Usage

The server will forward the VBB API token from the HTTP X-API-Key field, so get one for testing.

vbb-rest -c <cert> -k <key>   # run the server in "live mode" 

or

vbb-restd start -c <cert> -k <key>   # start/stop the server in the background 

vbb-rest

Usage:
vbb-rest -c <cert> -k <key> [-p <port>]

Arguments:
  -c, --cert    The SSL certificate.
  -k, --key     The SSL key.

Options:
  -p, --port    Where the server will listen. Default: 8000

vbb-restd

Usage:
vbb-restd start -c <cert> -k <key> [-p <port>]
vbb-restd stop <id>

Arguments:
  -c, --cert    The SSL certificate.
  -k, --key     The SSL key.
  id            The server process id.

Options:
  -p, --port    Where the server will listen. Default: 8000

When you start a server, it will print its process id.

vbb-restd start -c <cert> -k <key>
info: The server <id> has been started.

You can use the id later to stop the server.

$ vbb-restd stop <id>.
info: The server <id> has been stopped.
