Hi community,

 

 

I have links (with token) here that give me the opportunity to have GTFS data into realtime. So I could have bus realtime position or alerts by exemple : https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs-realtime/

 

 

Would you know a method to read this data into FME?

 

 

My goal would be to read this data and update the last position into ArcGIS via FME. If you would know a way to use the GTFS-realtime into ArcGIS, I would be interested too. Honestly I don't know what to to with those links...

 

 

thank you

Hi,

 

 

seems like the GTFS alerts is an ordinary webservice. In that case, I'd consider using the HTTPFetcher. 

 

 

Another solution could be to use a Python script to access the GTFS data and pass this on as a feature to FME. The PythonCreator would be a good match for this. This would probably be my preferred solution for anything but for the most simple REST-based webservice.
