db-iris - Interface to the DeutscheBahn online departure monitor
db-iris [-r] [-c classlist] [-d date] [-o output-flags] [-p platforms] [-t time] [-T typelist] [-v|-V via] station
version 1.07
db-iris is an interface to the DeutscheBahn departure monitor available at https://iris.noncd.db.de/wbt/js/index.html.
It requests all departures at station and lists them on stdout, similar to the big departure screens installed at most main stations. station can be either a DS100 station code (such as "EE") or a normal station name (such as "Essen Hbf" or "DO Universität"). If no exact match is found, db-iris will try to find station names containing station as a substring.
An exclamation mark (!) next to a platform indicates that it is not the scheduled one.
!
Comma-separated list of train classes to filter by. Using this option causes all trains whose class is not in classlist to be discarded.
Valid classes are:
D Non-DB train. Usually local transport F "Fernverkehr", long-distance transport N "Nahverkehr", local and regional transport S S-Bahn, rather slow local/regional transport
Request results for date in dd.mm. or dd.mm.YYYY format. Note that only slight (a few hours max) deviations from the current time are supported by the IRIS backend, larger ones will not return data.
Return only those results which are less than int minutes in the future. Defaults to 240 (4 hours).
Note that this is only an upper limit, not a guarantee to get every train with a departure in less than int minutes. This guarantee holds only for int below 120. However, any non-negative number is accepted for this option.
For each result, output outputtypes in addition to the normal time, delay, line and destination information. outputtypes is a comma-separated list, this option may be repeated. Each output type has both a short and long form, so both -ot,d and --output=times,delay are valid.
-ot,d
--output=times,delay
Valid output types are:
If a train's route deviates from its schedule: Print a list of additional (unscheduled) stops it will serve.
If a train's route deviates from its schedule: Print a list of canceled stops (scheduled stops which will not be served).
If a train is delayed, show the most recent reason for this delay.
List all delay reasons entered into the IRIS for each train, even if the particular train is on time by now.
Show the entire route (both before and after station).
List all messages (delay and qos) entered into the IRIS with timestamps.
List all quality of service messages entered into the IRIS. These contain information like "Missing carriage" or "Broken air conditioning".
Note that some qos messages may supersede older ones. superseded messages are omitted, use the m / messages type to see those as well.
Show up to three stops between station and the train's destination.
For cancelled trains: Print their replacement train(s), if present. For unplanned trains: Print the train(s) they replace, if present.
Show both scheduled and expected arrival and departure times.
Only show arrivals/departures at platforms (comma-separated list, option may be repeated). This applies to actual departures, not schedules.
Show estimated instead of scheduled time where available. Cannot be combined with --output=times.
--output=times
Request results for time in HH:MM or HH:MM:SS format. Note that only slight deviations (a few hours max) from the current time are supported by the IRIS backend, larger ones will not return data.
Comma-separated list of train types to filter by. Using this option causes all arrivals/departures whose type is not in typelist to be discarded.
The following valid values are known:
local transport: IRE Inter-Regio Express (rare) RB Regionalbahn (slower than RE) RE Regional-Express S S-Bahn regional/interregional transport: D "Schnellzug" (generic fast train, rare) EC Eurocity IC Intercity IR Inter-Regio (rare in Germany, mostly used in Switzerland) ICE Intercity-Express THA Thalys
Depending on the city and country, other types may be used as well. Examples include "ABR" / "NWB" (private trains included in the local transport tariff system), "HKX" (private train not included in any DB tariffs) and "SBB" (unknown swiss train class)
Only show trains serving viastation after station. In this case, viastation must match the station as contained in the train's route (see -of), DS100 codes are not supported.
Only show trains serving viastation after station. Show result timestamps as "HH:MM -> HH:MM +x", where the first time is the scheduled departure (without delay) at station and the second the scheduled arrival (also without delay) at viastation. If a delay is known, it will be indicated by +x.
Note that here, viastation must be a regular station name or DS100 code.
Caveat: Some trains change their identity along the route. For instance, the line RE11 line in NRW has two identifiers, one for Mönchengladbach <-> Duisburg and one for Duisburg <-> Hamm. track-via is not able to handle those and will miss trains changing their identifier between station and viastation
Sometimes, Deutsche Bahn splits up major stations in their IRIS interface. For instance, "Köln Messe/Deutz" actually consists of "Köln Messe/Deutz" (KKDZ), "Köln Messe/Deutz Gl. 9-10" (KKDZB) and "Köln Messe/Deutz (tief)" (KKDT).
By default, db-iris will show departures for all of these stations when queried for any of them. When this option is set, only the departures for the station part specified on the commandline are shown.
Show version information.
Zero unless things went wrong.
None.
