Unfortunately, the API endpoint used by this library is no longer available (more details in #31). This repo is now archived.

As an alternative, consider https://github.com/mondbaron/mvg, which uses a newer API endpoint and supports async usage.

Thank you to everyone who used this library and contributed over the years! Bye!

Below follows the old readme:

python_mvg_api

A library for fetching departures, routes and service interruptions from Munich Transport Authority MVG, using the newer JSON-api on mvg.de

Get it on pypi:

pip install mvg-api

Then, import mvg_api.

To get the id for a particular Station, use something like mvg_api.get_id_for_station("Hauptbahnhof").

You can use this id for getting departures with mvg_api.get_departures(6) and use it as the start or end of a route.

Usage policy of the MVG api

In other words: Private, noncomercial, moderate use of the API is tolerated. They don't consider data mining as moderate use.
