Nottingham City Transport Bus API

simonprickett opened this issue a year ago · 6 comments

Hi there, I made an API on Cloudflare for Nottingham City Transport bus departures from a given stop ID. Instructions and endpoint are here:

Feel free to use this!

Looks very useful! Is it deployed somewhere?

Then you could either directly connect e.g. v1.nottingham-city.transport.rest, or let me HTTP-redirect to the API.

Hello yes it operates here: https://nctx.crudworks.workers.dev/?stopId=3390FO07&maxResults=8

Do you want to use a transport.rest subdomain with it, e.g. v1.nottingham-city.transport.rest?

Not sure how that'd fit in with the Cloudflare setup (mostly as I haven't looked into it). If it's something we can do then I don't see why not.

There seem to be multiple ways to connect a (sub)domain to Cloudflare: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/triggers/custom-domains/

Edit: Turns out that only the "full setup" (via NS records) is available with a "Free" account, but AFAIK doesn't work with subdomains. The "partial (CNAME) setup" would work technically, but is only available with "Business" & "Enterprise" accounts. It seems like HTTP-redirecting is the only option.

Is it possible to provide an explanatory index page at https://nctx.crudworks.workers.dev? This way, when I redirect to it from v1.nottingham-city.transport.rest, users won't be confused.
