GET /api/v1/live/{city}/transit/departures
Live public-transit departures per stop with delay (GTFS-RT, Tier B)
Returns a stop's live departures with current delay from the GTFS-RT feed (gtfs.de or Mobilithek-DELFI, CC-BY-SA = Tier B) in the live envelope (meta with as_of and refresh_seconds=45, the poller cadence). The request path reads ONLY from Redis: a background poller parses the feed once per cadence, so no 68 MB feed is parsed per request. RT-only semantics: only trips with a realtime update are served; scheduled timetable times are NOT included. When an update carries an absolute departure time (e.g. Berlin/VBB) it is checked for the future (90 s grace) and sorted ascending; delay-only updates without an absolute time (the norm in the nationwide feed) are served WITH delay_s/delay_min and departure_time/minutes_until = null after the timed entries. stop_id may be parent or platform level (de:AGS:nr or de:AGS:nr:area:platform), both resolve. meta additionally exposes raw_updates_total and filtered_out (honest raw counts, no silent truncation). Toggle off -> 200 source_status="disabled"; no update in Redis or everything filtered out -> 200 source_status="no_data"; invalid stop_id -> 400. Live data only, kept in the Redis cache (Tier B).
Parameters
| Name | In | Required | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
city | path | yes | string | berlin | |
stop_id | query | yes | string | de:11000:900003101::6 | DELFI stop ID in the pattern de:<AGS>:<id> (checked against an allowlist). Valid ids per city come from GET /api/v1/cities/{slug}/transit, field stop_id. NOT the trip_stop_id of the station boards, which denotes one stop of one train run. |
