v5.db.transport.rest API documentation

v5.db.transport.rest is a REST API. Data is being returned as JSON.

You can just use the API without authentication. There's a rate limit of 100 request/minute (burst 200 requests/minute) set up.

Note: For URL-encoding, this documentation uses the url-encode tool of the url-decode-encode-cli package.

GET /journeys

Uses hafasClient.journeys() to find journeys from A (from) to B (to).

from (A), to (B), and the optional via must each have one of these formats:

  • as stop/station ID (e.g. from=8010159 for Halle (Saale) Hbf)
  • as a POI (e.g. from.id=991561765&from.latitude=51.48364&from.longitude=11.98084 for Halle+(Saale),+Stadtpark+Halle+(Grünanlagen))
  • as an address (e.g. from.latitude=51.25639&from.longitude=7.46685&from.address=Hansestadt+Breckerfeld,+Hansering+3 for Hansestadt Breckerfeld, Hansering 3)

Pagination

Given a response, you can also fetch more journeys matching the same criteria. Instead of from*, to* & departure/arrival, pass earlierRef from the first response as earlierThan to get journeys "before", or laterRef as laterThan to get journeys "after".

Check the hafasClient.journeys() docs for more details.

# without buses, with ticket info
curl 'https://v5.db.transport.rest/journeys?from=…&to=…&bus=false&tickets=true' -s | jq

GET /journeys/:ref

Uses hafasClient.refreshJourney() to "refresh" a journey, using its refreshToken.

The journey will be the same (equal from, to, via, date/time & vehicles used), but you can get up-to-date realtime data, like delays & cancellations.

Query Parameters

parameter description type default value
stopovers Fetch & parse stopovers on the way? boolean false
tickets Fetch & parse a shape for each journey leg? boolean false
polylines Return information about available tickets? boolean false
remarks Parse & return hints & warnings? boolean true

Example

# get the refreshToken of a journey
journey=$(curl 'https://v5.db.transport.rest/journeys?from=…&to=…&results=1' -s | jq '.journeys[0]')
refresh_token=$(echo $journey | jq -r '.refreshToken')

# refresh the journey
curl "https://v5.db.transport.rest/journeys/$(echo $refresh_token | url-encode)" -s | jq

GET /trips/:id

Uses hafasClient.trip() to fetch a trip by ID.

A trip is a specific vehicle, stopping at a series of stops at specific points in time. Departures, arrivals & journey legs reference trips by their ID.

Query Parameters

parameter description type default value
lineName Required. Line name of the part's mode of transport, e.g. RE7. string –
stopovers Fetch & parse stopovers on the way? boolean true
remarks Parse & return hints & warnings? boolean true
polyline Fetch & parse the geographic shape of the trip? boolean false
language Language of the results. string en

Example

# get the trip ID of a journey leg
journey=$(curl 'https://v5.db.transport.rest/journeys?from=…&to=…&results=1' -s | jq '.journeys[0]')
journey_leg=$(echo $journey | jq -r '.legs[0]')
trip_id=$(echo $journey_leg | jq -r '.tripId')

# fetch the trip
curl "https://v5.db.transport.rest/trips/$(echo $trip_id | url-encode)" -s | jq

GET /stations

If the query parameter is used, it will use db-stations-autocomplete to autocomplete Deutsche Bahn-operated stops/stations. Otherwise, it will filter the stops/stations in db-stations.

Instead of receiving a JSON response, you can request newline-delimited JSON by sending Accept: application/x-ndjson.

Query Parameters

parameter description type default value
query Find stations by name using db-stations-autocomplete. string –
limit If query is used: Return at most n stations. number 3
fuzzy If query is used: Find stations despite typos. boolean false
completion If query is used: Autocomplete stations. boolean true
