iRail API (use case)

What it does :

The scripts parses the official SNCB API and proposes the 6 next trains going from Nivelles to either Ath or Yvoir (3 for each destination), as JSON.

For each train journey, it shows :

• the destination
• the departure time
• the expected departure delay
• the expected duration

How-to use :

• install python 2.7
• install the requirements with pip
• launch the script
• visit http://localhost:8090

Potential improvements :

• by default, the API only proposes train routes, whereas the SNCB website also includes bus and metro into its routes.
• plan for inevitable API connectivity failures.
