How long to receive Open Rail Data Credentials?

[Harry Daniels]

Hi All, new member here. I'm embarking on a new personal project and need access to the openraildata api. I signed up for an account yesterday but I've not heard back. I saw on reddit that credentials can take several months, is this really the case? Alternatively if anyones able to share the latest CIF_ALL_FULL_DAILY CIF feed i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, Harry

Hi Harry

Was this on publicdatafeeds.networkrail.co.uk?

Hi Peter, 

Thanks for getting back to me, yes that's correct. I'm trying to download the CIF data as per this curl request:

curl -L -u 'username:password' -o file.gz 'https://publicdatafeeds.networkrail.co.uk/ntrod/CifFileAuthenticate?type=CIF_ALL_FULL_DAILY&day=toc-full'
https://wiki.openraildata.com/index.php?title=SCHEDULE#Downloading_via_curl

Although It seems i'm not authorised.

Thanks,

Harry

You need to sign up for an account on publicdatafeeds.networkrail.co.uk - the wiki is simply documentation for the feeds and other things, and you'll need to enter your username and password in place of the 'username' and 'password' in the curl URL.
