lisp-o-motive

A library for accessing the British Network Rail data feeds.

Find out about them here: Open Rail Data

This is a work in progress. At the moment the Train Describer and Train Movements feeds are supported.

Usage

1. (ql:quickload :lisp-o-motive)

2. Ensure you have a Network Rail data feeds account, you can sign up here.

3. Add your data feeds account credentials:

(setf lisp-o-motive:*username* "selwyn@example.com" lisp-o-motive:*passcode* "xxx")

You can avoid the hassle of doing this every time by storing your username and passcode in <project-root>/config:

selwyn@example.com
xxx

and lisp-o-motive will read the credentials upon being loaded.

4. Establish a connection using (lisp-o-motive:setup-connection).

Installation

Clone to ~/quicklisp/local-projects.

There is an issue with the version of cl-stomp in Quicklisp at the time of writing that can prevent connections from being established; you may like to install a recent version of cl-stomp to ~/quicklisp/local-projects.
