Navitia is the open API for building cool stuff with mobility data. It provides the following services

• journeys computation
• line schedules
• next departures
• exploration of public transport data / search places
• and sexy things such as isochrones

You can find the documentation here.

The goal of this package is to provide a dead simple way to request navitia's API.

To install package:

pip install navitia_client

You first have to ask for an API key, for Navitia API, you can get it here. Suppose you have it:

from navitia_client import Client

client = Client(user=NAVITIA_USER)
client.set_region("fr-idf")

# Get all journeys from a given point or ressource:
stop_area = "stop_area:OIF:SA:8768138"
response1 = client.journeys(origin=stop_area, verbose=True)

# Get route_schedules for given stop point:
stop_point = "stop_point:OIF:SP:10:1145"
response2 = client.route_schedules(stop_point=stop_point, verbose=True)

# Compute a custom request (raw_url, and extra_params):
raw_url = 'coverage/fr-idf/stop_areas/stop_area:OIF:SA:8768138/places_nearby'
response3 = client.raw(url=raw_url, verbose=True)

# Compute custom multi-pages request:
url = 'coverage/fr-idf/lines'
response4 = client.raw(url, multipage=True, page_limit=10, verbose=True)

# Compute invert geocoding request:
lat = '48.866667'
lon = '2.333333'
response5 = client.inverted_geocoding(lat=lat, lon=lon, verbose=True)

# Compute explore ressource request, single or multipage:
response6 = client.explore("networks", verbose=True)
response7 = client.explore("lines", multipage=True, page_limit=5, count_per_page=50, verbose=True)

# Compute departures request:
response8 = client.departures(coords=coords, verbose=True)
response9 = client.departures(
    collection_name="stop_points", object_id=stop_point, verbose=True)

Client class has multiple methods:

• Client.raw() : when you want to choose freely url and parameters, and still benefit from core functionalities, for instance multipage
• Client.journeys() : computes journeys
• Client.route_schedules() : computes route_schedules
• Client.explore() : explore transportation objects as lines, routes, networks etc
• Client.inverted_geocoding() : get address from coordinates
• Client.departures() : get departures from coords or object.

And many more to come:

• isochrones
• arrivals
• many others...

• verbose=True parameter if you want to get information in console about requests.
• client.requested_urls attribute if you want to see all urls requested by your client.

• replace multiprocessing by gevent async requests

• unit tests
• code documentation with sphynx
