gwr-feed

A simple Python script to generate a JSON Feed for search for train tickets on Great Western Railway. Only supports one-way Standard class journeys.

Served over Flask!

Use the Docker build to host your own instance.

1. Set your timezone as an environment variable (see docker docs): TZ=Europe/London

2. Access the feed using the URL with origin and destination station codes: http://<host>/?from=BHM&to=EUS

3. Optionally, specify a:

   • date (YYYY-MM-DD): http://<host>/?from=BHM&to=EUS&on=2022-12-25
   • time (HH:MM): http://<host>/?from=BHM&to=EUS&at=12:00
   • number of weeks to look ahead: http://<host>/?from=BHM&to=EUS&weeks_ahead=2
   • or any combination of the above

4. (Advanced) Use a cron expression to specify a custom commuting schedule:

   • weekdays 8.30am: http://<host>/cron?from=BHM&to=EUS&job=30 8 * * 1-5
   • weekends 2pm, 2 weeks from now: http://<host>/cron?from=BHM&to=EUS&job=00 14 * * 6,7&skip_weeks=2

Note: set a longer timeout on your feed reader if you use the 'weeks_ahead' option
