A twitter bot which posts whenever a train of Deutsche Bahn is delayed, it fetches a list of stations and views their DepartureBoard to get an insight on how much the trains are delayed.

Checkout the source code and run:
npm install
To compile the typescript code to javascript run:
tsc
(alternatively if tsc is not available run: ./node_modules/.bin/tsc)
To generate the docs run:
npm run docs
To get the twitter client to work you need to specify the apps consumer tokens and access tokens. I'm using a local .env file which looks like this:
CONSUMER_KEY=XXX
CONSUMER_SECRET=XXX
ACCESS_TOKEN=XXX-XXX
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=XXX
BAHN_API_KEY=null
The BAHN_API_KEY is not used actively at the moment since I couldn't obtain a valid API KEY in time.
This project uses the bahn.de website for data retrival. As soon as I get my API key I will rewrite parts of this bot
This is far from finished although it works quite well at the moment. It needs more fine grained options like a fixed amount of tweets per hour and the train queue should reset itself every 30minutes. Unfortunately there are soooo many trains delayed that its impossible to post every delayed train to twitter without breaking twitter's API Guidelines.
