A simple example that shows how to retrieve and display real-time departure information for a specific location:

using Westfalenfahrplan.NET;  

using var api = new WestfalenfahrplanClient();  

var stop = (await api.SearchAsync("Bielefeld Jahnplatz")).Locations.FirstOrDefault();
var realtimeData = await api.GetRealtimeLocationInfoAsync(stop.Id);
