Train live running status

Where a train run is now: last station passed or reached, delay in minutes, expected times, distance covered, next stop, platform, update time, plus every halt with scheduled and expected arrival and departure, delays and whether it is passed. Before the run starts the stops carry the timetable. date is the day the train left its first station (today or the last 6 days, IST); or give start_day (0 = today, 1 = yesterday...).

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/indian-rail/v1/live-status?number=12951" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/indian-rail/v1/live-status",
    params={"number": "12951"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/indian-rail/v1/live-status");
url.searchParams.set("number", "12951");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
