🇩🇪 Deutsche Bahn

[ovbm]

DB provides start and endpoint of travel. We'd have to compute the duration or distance ourselves.

[corradio]

Do they have an API?

[ovbm]

They have API‘s for timetables and journeys, but with a free limit of 10 calls per minute. nothing for user accounts as far as i can tell: https://developer.deutschebahn.com/store/apis/list

I have a DB "Meine Bahn" account if you would like to try scraping it. The table with trip record looks like this, and data is available up to 14 months in the past.

<table class="form brsoverviewtable rowlines spanall">

      <tr>

Sometimes the more details pages ("Detailansicht zu diesem Auftrag") have slightly more information, like for instance "InterCityExpress 996, F-Flughafen Fernbf. (ab 10:09) - Berlin Hbf, 2. Kl., 2 Sitzplätze, Wagen 22, Plätze 41 43, Großraumwagen, Ruhebereich, Nichtraucher, 1 Fenster, 1 Gang, Res.Nr. [redacted]" - where ICE 996 is a specific train with a defined route and stopping points. However this is only for tickets bound to a specific train or with seat reservation.

That's really awesome! I think first we need to build a small playground so people can easily code the integrations themselves (see #14).

[ovbm]

I already started an integration that is not quite working yet. Will make a PR with what I have so far.

Any news on that? I figured that Deutsche Bahn could be used for/instead of quite a lot of train providers, as they support a lot of european connections.

Is there a possibility to link ones Tomorrow account directly to the Meine Bahn so that it fetches the booked trains directly?

Wishlist [ ] compare with some train db on the web if the train numer is an electric or diesel train and apply the different CO2-equivalents/km. This might be useful: http://www.grahnert.de/fernbahn/datenbank/

[ovbm]

Haven't had time to work on it unfortunately. I did so a year ago but there were some tokens that I couldn't figure out how to get around. If anyone has time to do it, would be great. I use DB all the time.

closing due to inactivity. Let's reopen if someone finds an API to fetch trips.
