bart-api-ulloa 0.0.2

bart api wrapper in python, now returns data instead of just printing

BART API Wrapper for Python 3+ (w/ JSON)

Bart API Documentation: https://api.bart.gov/docs/overview/index.aspx

Every amenity from the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) API is implemented in some way. The methods sections below shows the available methods.

Each API method will return relevant data, usually with new line characters so that when the string is printed, well-formed information is printed. The second branch of this project, BartApiForPrintingInfo, will always print the data.

One exception: the help class methods, which both return data and print it to screen.

Use the help class methods to see what the syntax is for invoking a bart command.

For example, the general help function:

Input

bart = Bart()   # note that key defaults to BART API's universal key
bart.help()

Output

Commands: help, routes, routeinfo 
route_help(), routes(), route_info()

Commands: bsa, count, elev, help 
bsa(), train_count(), elev(), elev_help()

Commands: etd, help 
etd(), etd_help()

Commands: help, stns, stninfo 
stn_help(), stninfo(), stnaccess(), stns()

Commands: arrive, depart, fare, help, holiday, routesched, scheds, special, stnsched 
arrive(), depart(), fare(), sched_help(), holiday(), routesched(), scheds(), special(), stnsched()

Also, there is thorough documentation. The following...

   help(classname.methodname)
   help(classname)

...will give you all of the necessary details about a method or class.

Installing

There's a package on PyPI.

pip3 install bart-api-ulloa

Just make sure you have python3 and the requests library (don't even need an API key, since BART has a universal key and it's built into this wrapper).
