Search Deutsche Bahn (bahn.de) train journeys and prices

Automatically search Deutsche Bahn (bahn.de) train journeys and prices on bahn.de. Search train journeys on Deutsche Bahn (bahn.de) between two places from bahn.de/suggest_locations, departing or arriving at a time on a date (or a number of days after today, for searches that run on a schedule), with the options bahn.de offers: class, travellers with their ages and discount cards (BahnCard and others), fastest connections, direct services only, transport modes, bicycle transport, seat booking only, Deutschland-Ticket. Returns the journeys bahn.de lists from that time (about 5 to 10), each with its planned and estimated times, duration, changes, the cheapest price bahn.de shows for the travellers asked (null when no ticket is on sale, and marked when the price covers only part of the journey), the expected occupancy per class, bahn.de's messages, and each leg (stations, platforms, train, operator, and, with includeStops, every stop). Pass laterCursor or earlierCursor back as cursor, with the same search, for the next or previous journeys. A route bahn.de has no connection on returns an empty list. bahn.de refuses searches for a few minutes after many in a short time: the run then fails and says so.

Suggest Deutsche Bahn (bahn.de) stations and places

Look up stations, addresses and points of interest on Deutsche Bahn (bahn.de) by name, as its Start and Destination fields suggest them while you type, in bahn.de's own order (up to 10). Returns each place's id, name, type (station, address or point of interest), station number, coordinates and the kinds of transport that stop there. Pass a place's id to bahn.de/search_journeys as origin or destination. A city name in capitals, such as MUNICH (MÜNCHEN), stands for all the stations of that city. Names are in English where bahn.de has an English name, with the local name in brackets. bahn.de's matching is loose: a text it does not know still brings up places whose names start like it, so check the names before you search.
