MagicMirror Module #2

First of all, thank you so much for making an accessible and clean method for accessing the Amtrak API! This is a public good, kudos.

Would you be interested in developing a MagicMirror module that displays this data on a map? I know the community would really appreciate it and I personally will do what I can to test and contribute.

Thanks again!

I'll look into it, seems pretty interesting. I am a bit busy right now with school, but eventually I think I can pull this off.

No rush at all, I am going to play around with the code and see if I can get it started. In the meantime I was able to use the google map API and a maps module to display some of the information about upcoming trains. Your code would be much more useful as it has the live tracking features though.

Ooh this look would be super cool! Will definitely look into it now, as my ADHD has taken over lol.

Ooh just some clarification, my library is able to give live train data, as it updates every minute. In the new amtrak.cc API, I might add a way to use websockets to receive new data every minute, but as that is something outside of the space of Cloudflare caching (to my knowledge) I might have to charge $0.50-$1.00 a month to cover compute costs.

Not 100% sure though, will let you know if anything changes.
