'getstops' returns empty stop list when using 'destination'

[Corey Wood]

The 'getstops' call seems to work correctly when omitting the 'destination' parameter, but returns an empty 'stops' list when I specify a destination (but returns a '0' status as if it's successful).

Using the example from the API docs:
url = 'http://api.smsmybus.com/v1/getstops?key=xxx&routeID=03&destination=ETP'
...
{'routeID': '03', 'status': '0', 'stops': [], 'timestamp': '2:55pm'}

Otherwise,
url = 'http://api.smsmybus.com/v1/getstops?key=xxx&routeID=03'
...
{'routeID': '03',
 'status': '0',
 'stops': [{'destination': 'eastbound',
   'intersection': 'ATWOOD & RUSK',
   'latitude': 43.092493,
   'longitude': -89.352818,
   'stopID': '1961'},
...

No other routeID/destination pair I have tried has produced different results.  Do you know what the issue could be?

Thanks for writing, Corey. And good find. 

I must admit, I don't recall the full history of the implementation with respect to destinations. But something broke down along the way. The API code is looking for the cryptic Metro endpoint references, which are numbers and not names. For example, "ETP" is represented by the number 109. The API documentation clearly references the names. 

I'm investigating a solution that will do a translation from "ETP" to the underlying resource number. I'll let you know what I find.

Cheers.

Greg

Excellent.  It's working like a charm so far.  Thanks for the quick fix!
