aixbus

aixbus is a set of php scripts that perform requests to the ASEAG realtime bus service and return comprehensive JSON.

Simply put:

• it takes simple input parameters
• performs the requests to the ivu.aseag.de API
• parses the response
• returns a pretty JSON 😍

NOTE: The ivu.aseag.de is undocumented and may be not intended for public use. This code was put together for educational purposes. The rights to use the API should be requested to ASEAG directly.

Requirements

• aixbus was tested on a server running php 7.0
• although untested, it may work with earlier php versions.
• the server needs to be able to perform HTTP requests for file_get_contents to work properly.
