Renfe Timetables CLI
Get faster Renfe trains timetables in your terminal, with Python3.7+ support. No longer need to open the browser! Just keep using your terminal 😀
It supports both Horarios de alta velocidad, larga distancia y media distancia (default option, as in the web) and Renfe Cercanías GTFS datasets.
renfe-cli is written in Rust (since v4.0.0) and published to pypi.org as a Python package (CLI and library).
See the changelog.
NOTE since I am more often using Rodalies trains I have created rodalies-cli. I hope you like it too!
DISCLAIMER: Renfe's GTFS dataset might not be in sync with autonomic train schedules systems (e.g. Rodalies de la Generalitat de Catalunya), hence Renfe Cercanias train types (e.g.: REGIONAL or MD type) might not be accurate, or when using the cercanias flag you won't find timetables for the stations belonging to autonomic systems. For that, please use autonomic data/apps (.e.g: rodalies-cli).
Installation
Install Python CLI package renfe-cli
Usage (CLI)
The CLI uses the official and latest Renfe's GTFS dataset, from Horarios de alta velocidad, larga distancia y media distancia, by default. Optionally, one can enable searching over Renfe Cercanías GTFS dataset (expect longer load time in this case).

Usage (Library)
renfe-cli can be imported as a python package into your project, offering utilities when willing to deal with the Renfe search web site.

Development
This project makes use of Rust bindings for the Python interpreter thanks to pyo3. It is already available as a dependency.
To develop, build and publish, this project makes use of maturin project. See usage.
Example of first time working with this repository:

)
Maturin takes care of compiling the rust code, generating the bindings for python and installing the package for local use (as library or binary/CLI).
