Unofficial Alexa skill for retrieving live data from the STIB-MIVB network.
This project is no longer maintained.
The brussels public transports company, also known as the STIB-MIVB, has created a platform to make some of its data including timetables, stop names, locations of the stops, line routes and real-time network information publicly available.
This Alexa skill uses the platform to allow users to ask real-time information regarding their usual trips on the STIB-MIVB network. The skill currently allows users to configure their favorite trip (favorite STIB-MIVB line and stop name) and ask for buses/metro/trams arrival times based on their trip preferences. Additional features will be added in the future.
The skill can be invoked using the Skill invocation name: STIB schedule.
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| Alexa, launch/open/start STIB schedule | Launch the skill |
| Alexa, launch/open/start STIB schedule and modify/save/configure my preferences | Configure your favorite trip by saving your favorite line and stop |
| Alexa, launch/open/start STIB schedule and tell me when is the next tram/bus/metro | Get next arrival times for you favorite trip |
This skill is built with:
- Python 3
- Alexa Skills kit SDK for python
- Amazon Lambda
- Amazon DynamoDB for storing users trip preferences
- HermesCache using redis labs hosted memcached as a backend for caching
- Open Data API
