stations/query does not return any stations

Colum31 commented 2 years ago

When I try to query a station by the name, the API always returns an empty response.

To reproduce (the example in the documentation):

curl 'https://v5.vbb.transport.rest/stations?query=mehringd' -s | jq

I will look at this once I'm back at my computer, probably on Tuesday.

If you want to dig into this in the meantime, the logic for this is in vbb-stations-autocomplete.

This happens because vbb-rest#5 uses an outdated version of vbb-stations (^4), which contains a list of all VBB stations. For now, I suggest using the /locations?query=… route, which uses HAFAS underneath instead of vbb-stations:

curl 'https://v5.vbb.transport.rest/locations?query=mehringd&addresses=false&poi=false&results=3' -s | jq

        "type": "stop",
        "id": "900000017101",
        "stationDHID": "de:11000:900017101",
        "name": "U Mehringdamm",
        "location": {
