Api endpoint not available #29

Open leftshift opened 1 year ago

leftshift commented 1 year ago

As of today, the API endpoint this library uses (https://www.mvg.de/fahrinfo/api/) seems to have disappeared, returning error 404 or 500.

I don't know whether this is a temporary downtime, however, the website itself now uses a newer API, so this may be a permanent change.

what now?

The newer API endpoint is used by this fairly new package by @mondbaron, which in general provides a cleaner interface and additionally exposes async variants of all functions.

I recommend considering switching to that package, as adapting this package to the new API probably isn't worth the hassle.

what will happen to this repo?

If the old API is indeed down permanently, I will archive this repository and add a note pointing to alternatives that use the newer API.

Thanks for using this package and for all the stars over the years :)
