A minimalistic Python 3 client to simplify making requests to the NextBus API. Response content can be returned as either JSON or XML, using the respective NextBus public feed.
All commands in the NextBus API as of revision 1.23 are supported.
See the NextBus XML feed documentation for more information: https://www.nextbus.com/xmlFeedDocs/NextBusXMLFeed.pdf
Note: Other than the output format, the NextBus XML feed and JSON feeds are the same. The XML feed documentation also applies to the JSON feed.
Installation
Install with Pip:
pip install py-nextbus
Usage
import py_nextbus
client = py_nextbus.NextBusClient(output_format='json')

# Set client agency for further requests
client = py_nextbus.NextBusClient(output_format='json', agency='sf-muni')
# View routes and see available stops, etc
client.get_route_list()
client.get_route_config('25')
# Get prediction for a route at a stop
client.get_predictions(stop_tag='7617', route_tag='25')
