Command: routesched
Inputs
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| cmd=routesched | Requests detailed schedule information for a specific route. (Required) |
| route=<route_num> | Specifies a route information to return (i.e. 1, 2, ... 12). (Required) |
| key=<key> | API registration key. (Required) |
| date=<mm/dd/yyyy> or <wd|sa|su> |
Specifies which date to use. This will determine the appropriate schedule for that date, and give back information about the lines for that schedule. Date can also be specified as "today" or "now". New options for generic schedules have been added: "wd", "sa", and "su" for weekday, Saturday and Sunday. (Optional) |
| l=<number> | Specifies whether the legend information should be included. By default it is 0 (not shown), but can be turned on by setting it to 1. (Optional) |
| json=y | Returns API output in JSON format. Default output is XML if parameter not specified. (Optional) |
Notes
- Route Information sometimes changes with schedule changes as lines are reconfigured. This may affect the name and abbreviation of the route.
