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.
Live demo is available here.
npm install hk-bus-eta
or
yarn add hk-bus-eta
Crawling traffic database:
import { fetchEtaObj } from "hk-bus-eta";
import type { BusDb } from "hk-bus-eta";
fetchEtaDb().then((db: BusDb) => {
console.log(db)
})Crawling ETA
import { fetchEtas } from "hk-bus-eta";
import tyep { Eta } from "hk-bus-eta";
// busDb is the BusDb object fetched by fetchEtaObj
fetchEtas({
...busDb.routeList["1+1+CHUK YUEN ESTATE+STAR FERRY"],
seq: 0,
language: "en",
}).then(etas => {
console.log(etas)
})The data structure of EtaDb is as follows:
{
