navitia-client

This repository provides a unofficial Python wrapper to use navitia.io APIs.

 Pre-requisites

To use this library, you will need an access token from navitia.io.

 Installation

The package is available on PiPy

pip install python-navitia-client

Usage

To use this library, you need an authentication token provided by Navitia.io.

Create client instance

Once created, you will create an instance of the NavitiaClient class with the following:

from navitia_client.client import NavitiaClient
client = NavitiaClient(auth=<YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>)

A base URL for Navitia IO is hardcoded and provided to NavitiaClient by default. It can be updated using the base_navitia_url parameter.

 Access APIs data

URLs are mapped as property in the class NavitiaClient. You can find the mapping here.

For example, if you want to have the list of datasets in a given region, use:

datasets, pagination = client.datasets.list_datasets(region_id=<REGION_ID>)

Pagination

A couple of APIs are paginated, in particular the public transporations APIs.. In such case, you can navigate in the response using the parameters start_page and count.

An object Pagination will be provided by the impacted methods to help you navigating.

 Additional questions

• Are you affiliated with Navitia ? No. This is an unofficial wrapper for the Navitia.io APIs.

• Is this client asynchronous ? No, and it is not planned to. If you want to add async support, feel free to contribute.

• Is this client production ready ? Yes and no. For my own purpose, it is, but I cannot guarantee that everything will behave well. If you spot a bug, please open an issue in the repo.
