Reference Route by Id - Githubissues

How can we identify / reference a route by id?

derhuerst commented 7 years ago

I haven't figured out yet actually. I'd dare to say you, working at DB, are the person that ought to know that. 😉 There is some form of identifier in place, but I haven't reverse-engineered it yet.

the HAFAS APIs use a format like 1|1276350|50|80|-1 to identify – i think – a single run of a train.
my Zugradar client exposes ids like 84/331235/18/19/80 from the API
my recently create DB shop scraper exposes ids like 341703/280474/672252/222225/80

Also, what do you mean by "route"? A single trip of a single physical train? Something like a line, a recurring schedule of trains passing a certain set of stations? The result of a routing/trip planning process? To further refine & standardise the naming conventions, @juliuste and I created the Friendly Public Transport Format.

FYI vbb-hafas now contains a method to query details/updates for a single leg of a route/journey. It uses identifiers like 1|28220|3|86|19062017. They same feature might exist at DB.

db-hafas now exposes the ID of each part of a journey. But there's no method yet to query details for it.

See public-transport/hafas-client#49 for more details.

Closing in favour of public-transport/hafas-client#49.
