A client library for the unofficial Nexus Tyne and Wear Metro real time information API.

Usage notes

Keep in mind that this API is for the Pop app and not a public API. When using it, poll the API in a manner that you would expect to come from the Pop app, i.e. quite sporadic, mostly no traffic apart from a few requests over a few minutes.

Things you could use this API for:

• A better mobile app
• A command line tool
• Home automation integration, tied into e.g. a "leaving home" routine

Things you bloody well should not use this API for:

• A departure board for your living room
• A widget that tells you when to leave to catch the next Metro (regardless of if you actually have to leave or not)
• Anything else that wastes requests collecting data that is of zero practical use to anyone
