stoptimetable needs to include the StopPointName

[mpo...@gmail.com]

I just coded up the Scheduled Departures at a Stop endpoint and it gives me almost all the fields I expected. It returns a structure very similar to the Real Time stop monitoring, except that it doesn't show the StopPointName.

It would be really useful to have TargetedCall>StopPointName in stoptimetable

similar to MonitoredCall>StopPointName

How would I go about requesting such a change to the endpoint?

The StopMonitoring API that has the StopPointName provides both scheduled and predicted arrival/departure times. Scheduled is <AimedArrivalTime> and predicted is <ExpectedArrivalTime>.

 

Hope this is helpful.

I'm asking this change for agencies that are NOT monitored.  If a user asks for the schedule at a specific stop number, it does not provide the stop name.

In that case, you may want to pair up your query with the http://api.511.org/transit/stops? API.

I'm trying to avoid having to make 2 calls, especially if the stops API has to return a very large list. I'm also thinking of the case where someone enters a stop number without telling me the agency. I may have to make up to 33 calls to the stops API to find the correct agency.

Take WestCat for example. What is the stop name for stop 2176?

http://api.511.org/transit/stopmonitoring?api_key=[my_key]&format=json&agency=WC&monitoringref=2176

Stop name is not here:

{

  "ServiceDelivery": {

    "ResponseTimestamp": "2021-08-17T19:30:44Z",

    "ProducerRef": "WC",

    "Status": true,

    "StopMonitoringDelivery": {

      "version": "1.4",

      "ResponseTimestamp": "2021-08-17T19:30:44Z",

      "Status": true,

      "MonitoredStopVisit": [

        

      ]

    }

  }

}

http://api.511.org/transit/stoptimetable?api_key=[my_key]&format=json&operatorref=WC&monitoringref=2176

Stop name is not here, but should be in TargetedCall to match the format of stopmonitoring when it has monitored stop visits:
