Transit module stopped working

Elaniobro

@sdetweil Thank you for your feedback. I am/was already debugging in the manner you mentioned. I was able to resolve the bug(s), but now I am still not seeing any data. My best guess is somewhere along the fetch of the data something changed or broke. The application is returning data, but the response is empty.

payload = [{ downTown: [] }, { upTown: [] }]

For some reason, just not getting any data :/

I am still digging in.

@Elaniobro boooo. always something! let me know if I can help

sdetweil

@Elaniobro probably another ‘this’ pointer issue

@sdetweil Welcome to assist, you can find the repo here: https://github.com/Elaniobro/MMM-nyc-transit

I do have it cleaned up a bit locally, but I am thinking my API key is no longer valid and or something changed upstream that I am not aware of. The mirror is doing what it should and returning results array, but the array is empty.

@Elaniobro using the default config, i also see the lack of info

    client.departures(stations)
      .then((responses) => {
        var upTown = []
        var downTown = []

        console.log("api results="+JSON.stringify(responses))

actual data

 api results=[{"complexId":237,"name":"Carroll St","lines":[{"name":"6th Av - Culver","departures":{"S":[],"N":[]}}]},{"complexId":177,"name":"Clinton - Washington Avs","lines":[{"name":"8th Av - Fulton St","departures":{"S":[],"N":[]}}]}]

config

    config: {
      apiKey: '****',   // just granted
      displayType: 'marquee',
      mtaType: 'train',
      stations: [
        {
          stationId: 237,
          walkingTime: 5,
          dir: {
              upTown: false,
              downTown: true
          }
        },
        {
          stationId: 177,
          walkingTime: 5,
          dir: {
            upTown: true,
            downTown: false
          }
        }
      ],

We can close this issue, it was resolved on github. The module itself never broke, it was an upstream service that did. A module that I was using, was using deprecated endpoints. I spoke with the developer and the MTA and we were able to isolate and resolve it.

In addition, not only did the endpoints change but any API keys generated on their old site, datamine.mta.info will no longer work.

You will need to create a new one via api.mta.info moving forward.

Thank you for your assist and feed back.

@Elaniobro glad I found the cause. sure makes for a deep dive into the stuff we use when something changes…

I’m running into this exact issue today. New install has not resolved. Neither has requesting a new API key. Any suggestions?

sdetweil

@nneuland I would post an issue to the module github for the developer

Hi Sam. Yes, I did. Unfortunately because I am on a Pi4 they are unable to troubleshoot…

I reinstalled the module fresh and retrieved a new API from api.mta.info, not clear on the error
