GTFS Aggregator Checker

This repo is to verify that a given list of feeds is listed in feed aggregators. Currently it checks transit.land and transitfeeds.com to verify that feeds are listed in an aggregator.

Installation

pip install gtfs-aggregator-checker

Configure

The following env variables can be set in a .env file, set to the environment, or inline like TRANSITLAND_API_KEY=SECRET python -m gtfs_aggregator_checker.

• TRANSITLAND_API_KEY An api key from transitland.

• GTFS_CACHE_DIR Folder to save cached files to. Defaults to ~/.cache/gtfs-aggregator-checker

Getting Started

CLI Usage

python -m gtfs_aggregator_checker [YAML_FILE] [OPTIONS]

python -m gtfs_aggregator_checker or python -m gtfs_aggregator_checker /path/to/yml will search a Cal-ITP agencies.yml file for any urls and see if they are present in any of the feed aggregators. Alternatively you can use a --csv-file or --url instead of an agencies.yml file.

The final line of stdout will tell how many urls were in agencies.yml and how many of those were matched in a feed.

Options

• python -m gtfs_aggregator_checker --help print the help
• --csv-file agencies.csv load a csv instead of a Cal-ITP agencies yaml file (one url per line)
• --url http://example.com Check a single url instead of a Cal-ITP agencies yaml file
• --output /path/to/file.json Save the results as a json file

Development

Clone this repo and pip install -e /pat/to/feed-checker to develop locally.

By default, downloaded files (raw html files, api requsets) will be saved to ~/.cache/calitp_gtfs_aggregator_checker. This greatly reduces the time required to run the script. Delete this folder to reset the cache.
