ptvapi (version 2.0.5)

ptvapi-package: ptvapi: A package for accessing the Public Transport Victoria Timetable API

Description

Accessing the Public Transport Victoria Timetable API reqiures a user ID (also called a devid) and an API key. These can be accessed by contacting Public Transport Victoria. See https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/footer/data-and-reporting/datasets/ptv-timetable-api/

The user ID and API key can be entered directly into all functions. Alternatively, all functions will pick up on the PTV_USER_ID and API_KEY environment variables, if defined.

All API requests use SSL by default. To disable this, and to use the http API endpoints rather than the https API endpoints, set the option:

options(use_insecure_ptv_connection = TRUE)
