HK Bus ETA

Bus ETAs in Hong Kong is now available as open data in Hong Kong, while there is no format normalization across different transport provider. This package is a js package (typescript supported) for querying normalized public traffic ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) in Hong Kong. The ETA data structure is based on hkbus/hk-bus-crawling and a well-established open-source project is known as hkbus.app.

A Python version package is available here and the source code is available here.

Usage

Crawling traffic database:

1import { fetchEtaObj } from "hk-bus-eta";
2import type { BusDb } from "hk-bus-eta";
3
4fetchEtaDb().then((db: BusDb) => {
5  console.log(db)
6})

Crawling ETA

1import { fetchEtas } from "hk-bus-eta";
2import tyep { Eta } from "hk-bus-eta";
3
4// busDb is the BusDb object fetched by fetchEtaObj
5
6fetchEtas({
7  ...busDb.routeList["1+1+CHUK YUEN ESTATE+STAR FERRY"],
8  seq: 0,
9  language: "en",
10}).then(etas => {
11  console.log(etas)
12})
