About TranslinkRTTI API Wrapper

This is a simple wrapper that wraps the Vancouver based Translink RTTI API service. This wrapper can be used for creating basic Translink based apps and retrieving information from the Translink system. It requires that you apply for your own API Key to use.

• Register for API Key.

• RTTI Open API - API Reference

Usage

First create an instance of the TranslinkRTTI class and then call one of the methods.

$translinkRTTI = new TranslinkRTTI('API_KEY');

// Call information about stop 55612 which is the Surrey Central Station Bay 4
$surreyCentral = $translinkRTTI->getStops(55612);
var_dump($surreyCentral);

Output will be a standard class object with a status code and content member. The content will also be a JSON string.

object(stdClass)#4 (2) {
  ["status_code"]=> int(200)
  ["content"]=> string(243) "{"StopNo":55612,"Name":"SURREY CENTRAL STN BAY 4       ","BayNo":"4  ","City":"SURREY","OnStreet":"SURREY CENTRAL STN","AtStreet":"BAY 4","Latitude":49.188850,"Longitude":-122.849361,"WheelchairAccess":1,"Distance":-1,"Routes":"501, 509, N19"}"
}

There are five methods supported:

• getStops(int $stopNo = 0, array $filters = [])
  • Filters include 'lat', 'long', 'radius' and 'routeNo'
• getStopEstimates(int $stopNo, array $filters = [])
  • Filters include 'count', 'time_frame_min' and 'routeNo'
• getBuses(int $busNo = 0, array $filters = [])
  • Filters include 'stopNo' and 'routeNo'
• getRoutes(string $routeNo = '', array $filters = [])
  • Filters include 'stopNo'
• getStatus(string $serviceName)
