rail is a Go client library for accessing the railwayapi.com API.

RailwayAPI.com provides API for Indian Railways data of Trains and Stations, along with features like Train Live status, PNR status, Arrivals on Station, Trains Between Stations etc

Requires Go version 1.7 or above.

$ go get -u github.com/go-india/rail

Construct a new rail client, then use the various methods on the client to access different parts of the RailwayAPI.

For demonstration:

package main

import (
  "context"
  "github.com/go-india/rail"
)

var ctx = context.Background()

func main() {
  client := rail.NewClient(API_KEY)

  // Gets PNR status details.
  resp, err := client.PNRStatus(ctx, 2124289856)

  // Gets Live running status of Train.
  resp, err := client.LiveTrainStatus(ctx, 14311, time.Now())

  // Gets fares of train.
  resp, err := client.TrainFare(ctx, 14311, "BE", "ADI", 24, "SL", "GN", time.Now())
}

Notes

• Using the context package for passing context.
• Make sure you have a valid API Key. If not, you can get a new one by registering at railwayapi.com registration page.

For complete usage of rail, see the full package docs.

If you are using concrete Client, then you need to assign client.Auth field to make the client methods use authenticator for requests.

client := rail.Client{
  Auth: rail.NewAuth(API_KEY),
}

This will add API Key to each request made by client methods.

You can run integration tests from the directory.

$ go test -v

Note: Use -update flag to update the testdata. When using update flag, you will need to define RAILWAYAPI_TEST_API_KEY in your environment for tests to use the API Key for testing.
