Examples

General

For anything to work, you need an access token. Ask one of the helpers, they'll give you one. The base url for all requests is

http://demo.hafas.de.

So if you see a request url below, something like /openapi/vbb-proxy/location.name?..., think http://demo.hafas.de/openapi/vbb-proxy/location.name?....

Getting the stops

Request

Say you want a list of stops for a query 'rosenthaler'. This is how you get it:

/openapi/vbb-proxy/location.name?  // 'location.name' is the name of the service
	input=rosenthaler&  // 'rosenthaler' is your input
	format=json&  // this sets the format to 'json' (as opposed to xml)
	accessId=ACCESS_TOKEN&  // put the access token here
	type=S  // use 'S' to search for stations only

Response

What you get is a JS object as a json file. It contains a property called stopLocationOrCoordLocation whose value is an array that contains the stations.
