EFA-Endpoints List

The "Elektronische Fahrplanauskunft" (EFA) is a German transport information system. This repository contains a comprehensive list of EFA API endpoints that can be used to plan journeys and obtain real-time information for public transportation (ÖPNV - öffentlicher Personennahverkehr). Whether you are looking for schedules, route planning, or live updates, these endpoints provide the necessary data.

Supported EFA endpoints

There is a list of known endpoints (will be updated continuously with each release)

Important

If more EFA endpoints are known to you, please write me a short messge or create a new issue and provide API URL. After a check I will add them to supported API's.

If you found requests like:

• XML_TRIP_REQUEST2
• XML_ADDINFO_REQUEST
• XML_COORD_REQUEST
• XML_STOPFINDER_REQUEST
• XML_SYSTEMINFO_REQUEST

they hint that EFA is used to process your request. Another hint is when the requested URLs contain EFA (e.g. https://www.vrr.de/vrr-efa/XML_SYSTEMINFO_REQUEST?....)
