rejseplanen_skill

Overview

This skill queries Danish public transport data from the Rejseplanen API to return real-time departures, arrivals, trip planning, and detailed journey stops. It supports filtering by transport mode, time, origin, and destination and can output either human-readable text or JSON for automation. The skill is designed for quick command-line lookups or integration into scripts and tools.

How this skill works

You search for stations or supply station names/IDs to request data from Rejseplanen. The skill can list departures or arrivals, plan trips between two stops, and show all stops for a specific journey. Options let you restrict results to trains or buses, filter by destination/origin, set a minimum departure time, and choose JSON or text output.

When to use it

• Check real-time departures or arrivals for a station before leaving
• Plan a trip between two Danish stations with schedule options
• Filter results to only trains or only buses for clarity
• Automate retrieval of schedules for dashboards or notifications
• Inspect all stops for a given journey to confirm intermediate calls

Best practices

• Use the search command to find and cache station IDs for faster, reliable queries
• Prefer station IDs when automating to avoid name ambiguity
• Use --json for programmatic parsing and --output text for human reading
• Combine --to or --from with --trains/--buses to narrow results quickly
• Specify --time HH:MM to focus on departures after a certain time

Example use cases

• Quickly list upcoming departures from Odense or another station
• Plan a morning trip from Odense to Aalborg at a specific time
• Fetch only train departures heading to a specific destination
• Retrieve arrival information filtered by originating station
• Integrate JSON output into a notification system for delayed services
