As already announced in the 7. Newsletter of 29.10. , the Train Formation Service INT API is now ready for testing in our self-service TEST API Manager.
This API provides the same endpoints as the production API and is identical in terms of the interface definition. The difference is that for the v2 endpoints now our newly implemented business logic is activated.
The new logic addresses the following improvements, in particular:
- Deliver responses to requests whenever possible, even when no real-time data is available
- Improved merging of data from both sources, giving preference to real-time data (CUS) where available.
- New architecture that will also allow other output formats in future, particularly OJP.
During implementation, we placed particular emphasis on code quality and careful testing. Nevertheless, errors may have crept in, or we may have overlooked something. The through-connection at vehicle level and certain mappings (such as vehicle type from CUS or vehicle status from FOS) have not yet been implemented. These are expected to follow in the coming weeks.
We look forward to receiving your feedback via opendata@sbb.ch.
