Not working for (French based) region

[vingerha]

For the departures, I tried with/out quotes, error remains

HA 2022.09 gtfs_rt : latest Config:

  - platform: gtfs_rt
    trip_update_url: "https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/r/0261a9ae-4874-4d87-8a92-6ae1c9fa68c7"
    departures:
    - name: Stop 530 Test RT
      route: LR530|20181213
      stopid: STOPPOINT:00812

Error without quotes in 'departures'

I was seeing this for api.nationaltransport.ie, but it was because I'd appended ?format=json to the end of my request URL.

It looks like your API returns JSON by default. You likely want to see if they offer format switching as a parameter.

I am not sure if I follow you. I think it is different problem? The examples in this repo all download a format 'pb' which I guess is google protobuf ?? I have no idea how to get this (french/non-responsive/non-interested) governmental institute to change any format So, my hope is that this repo can take json directly, but I am not even sure which structure and then IF the one I am targeting matches that structure. For Homeassistant, I now wrote a lengthy jinja template with rest and this works too but that is mediocre as a solution

The URL is a 404 so I can't see it any more. But you are correct that the component only works with Protobuf.
