London tube status
-
tube staus of the lines would be brilliant module :)
-
@djbenny07 nice idea! Looks like TfL have a fairly comprehensive API, I’ll take a look at it :)
-
Absolutely. I signed up for a developer account but did not find the time on the weekend to go for it. The API indeed looks neat.
-
@nigel-daniels @yawns OK great cant wait to see what you come up with
-
@djbenny07 I just posted the first version of a module to do this MMM-Tube-Status under the Transport section here. Let me know how you get on with it. If you find any bugs just let me know and I’ll try and figure it out.
I will be making an update at some point; as far as I can tell I ‘should’ be using an
app_idand anapi_keybut whenever I try to use them I cannot get data at all. I’ve emailed TfL to try and figure out what’s going on. In the meantime I’ve used the anonymous version of their API and it seems to work, I’m just not sure if it will run out of requests at some point. I.e. it may just stop at some point.As soon as I know more I’ll update the module’s topic and let you know.

Love this! signed up for a dev account myself and was trying to figure out how to write this. My only question when I load this as a module - the module takes up the entire width of my screen. Is there a way to set a size on it?
-
@soqueen hi what does your config look like? If you PM it to me (sans API keys etc.) I’ll try and recreate the issue and suggest a correct config or add a fix to the css.
-
@nigel-daniels Thanks for getting back to me! Do you want the entire config or just the tube station portion of it? I will PM it to you shortly…
-
@soqueen probably best to send me he whole thing just in case it’s an interaction thing, just remove any private api keys and any personal urls (e.g. calendar).
-
I apologize, I can’t seem to figure out how to PM you. If it’s ok, I can just paste the config file (sans personal info) here.
