v5.db.transport.rest documentation

v5.db.transport.rest is a REST API for the public transportation system in Germany.

Because it wraps an API of Deutsche Bahn, it includes most of the long-distance and regional traffic, as well as some international trains and local buses. Essentially, it returns whatever data the DB Navigator app shows, including realtime delays and disruptions.
