Installation

pip install wmataio

Usage

Getting Started

from wmataio import MetroRail, Station

client = MetroRail(api_key)
await client.load_data()
stations: dict[str, Station] = client.stations
lines: dict[str, Line] = client.lines

Design

wmataio breaks the WMATA API into two components: MetroRail and MetroBus.

MetroRail

Provides access to all MetroRail related endpoints.

Using MetroRail

import wmataio

client = wmataio.client(api_key)

trains = await client.rail.next_trains_at_station(client.rail.stations["A01"])

MetroBus

Provides access to all MetroBus related endpoints.

Using MetroBus

import wmataio

client = wmataio.client(api_key)

routes = await client.bus.get_all_routes()
