WienerLinien.NET is an easy-to-use .NET Wrapper for the Wiener Linien API using OpenData.
It provides you with all features from the official API and all you need is an API-Key, which you can request here
The library is available via NuGet:
PM> Install-Package WienerLinien.NET
or you can download the binaries here
Detailed information:
Get started:
First you need to create a WienerLinienContext classs where your API Key is stored.
var wlContext = new WienerLinienContext("yourApiKey");Then you can already start
As Wiener Linien don't provide all stations in their API, we had to grab them from their csv files and combine/parse them to JSON ourselves (see JsonGenerator folder).
The stations are used to get the RBL Id for them, which is required to retrieve Realtime Data.
To get all stations:
var allStations = await Stations.GetAllStationsAsync();This will return a List<Station>, where you can get the RBL Id's using the Platform attribute.
Now you can get realtime monitor information:
//initialize the RealtimeData object using the created context
var rtd = new RealtimeData(context);
//Create a List<int> of all RBL's we want to receive realtime data for
var listRbls = new List<int>(){allStations[0].Platforms[0].RblNumber, allstations[0].Platforms[1].Rblnumber};
//Create a Parameters object to include the Rbls and get Realtime Data for them
var parameters = new MonitorParameters(){Rbls= listRbls};
//Get the monitor informatino asynchronous, and save them as MonitorData class
var monitorInfo = await rtd.GetMonitorDataAsync(parameters);
//Get the planned arrival time for the first line and the next vehicle arriving (index at Departure)
var plannedTime = monitorInfo.Result.Data.Monitors[0].Lines[0].Departures.Departure[0].DepartureTime.TimePlanned;To receive current TrafficInformation (current failures like elevator and other interruptions), you need to use the GetTrafficInformationAsync method.
As parameter you can choose either related lines or related stops as well as the type of failure.
Sample code:
//initialize the RealtimeData object using the created context
var rtd = new RealtimeData.RealtimeData(context);
var relatedLines = new List<string>() { "U6", "U1", "18", "U4" };
//Create a Parameters object to include lines I want information to
var parameters = new Parameters.TrafficInfoParameters() { RelatedLines = relatedLines};
//Get the traffic information asynchronous, and save them as TrafficInfoData class
var trafficInfo = await rtd.GetTrafficInfoDataAsync(parameters);
//Get the first traffic warning related to your selected lines
var firstNotice = monitorInfo.Data.TrafficInfos[0].Description;Then there is the option to get current news related to the Wiener Linien:
//creating a new NewsWrapper object with your context
var news = new NewsWrapper(context);
//Retrives current news information, gets all available due to no Parameters set
var newsInformation = await news.GetNewsInformationAsync(new Parameters.NewsParameters());
/gets the first news item
var firstNewsItem = newsInformation.DataObj.PoisObj[0].Description;Of course it is possible to contribute yourself, to do so please:
