# PythonRMV

Small module that makes your journey with RMV REST API somehow easier. Based fully on official RMV API reference and HAFAS documentation.

# Requirements

* RMV API key (Get it [here](https://opendata.rmv.de/site/start.html))
* Python3 (Tested versions are 3.7.9 and 3.9.13)
* git (Only for installation from source)

# Installation

If you have everything listed in [requirements](#requirements), then let's begin.

### Variant 1:
1. `python -m pip install pyrmv`

### Variant 2:
1. `git clone https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/PythonRMV.git`
2. `cd PythonRMV`
3. `python setup.py install`

# Usage

```py
import pyrmv

# Define a Client with API key
client = pyrmv.Client("AcessId")

# Get origin's and destination's location
origin = client.stop_by_name("Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof", max_number=3)[0]
destination = client.stop_by_coords(50.099613, 8.685449, max_number=3)[0]

# Find a trip by locations got
trip = client.trip_find(origin_id=origin.id, dest_id=destination.id)
```

- [Some methods work slightly different](#some-methods-work-slightly-different)

## Why are there raw versions and formatted ones?

For the purposes of my projects I don't really need all the stuff RMV gives (even though it's not much).
I only need some specific things. However I do understand that in some cases other users may find
those methods quite useful so I implemented them as well.


## Some methods work slightly different

Can be. Not all function arguments written may work perfectly because I simply did not test each and
every request. Some of arguments may be irrelevant in my use-case and the others are used quite rare at all.
Just [make an issue](https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/PythonRMV/issues/new) and I'll implement it correct when I'll have some free time.
