Syncromaticsjs

Node wrapper api for getting data from the syncromatics transit servers.

Hosts

Here is an incomplete list of transit systems hosts using syncromatics:

• UPenn Transit System (http://pennrides.com)
• Los Angeles Department of Transportation (http://ladotbus.com)
• keywest (http://kwtransit.com)
• UC San Diego (http://www.ucsdbus.com/)
• University of South Florida (http://www.usfbullrunner.com)
• SF Presidio (http://www.presidiobus.com/)
• CSU Long Beach (http://csulbshuttle.com)
• Mississippi State (http://transit.msstate.edu/)
• CSU Pomona (http://broncoshuttle.com/)
• University of Delaware (http://udshuttle.com)
• University of San Diego (http://usdtram.com)
• National Institute of Health (http://wttsshuttle.com/)
• UC San Francisco (http://ucsfshuttles.com)

Why do this?

I do not like the user interface to the transit data from my school transit system which uses syncromatics, so I wanted a convienent way to get the transit data. This node module provides an easy way to get the most important data points like the routes and vehicles in operation.

Install from the npm registry

$ npm install syncromaticsjs

Examples

var syncromatics = require('syncromaticsjs');

// set the hostname
var options = {

  id: 'regions'
};

syncromatics.get(options, function(error, result) {
  if (!error) {
    console.log(result);
  }
});
