Setting up Deutsche Bahn Timetables API

From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.

This connector calls Deutsche Bahn's official Timetables API v1 on the DB API Marketplace. It is the source of truth for what is happening at a station right now, published by DB itself (CC BY 4.0). It does not plan journeys — pair it with the Deutsche Bahn Fahrplan connector for that.

Getting a key: create a free account at https://developers.deutschebahn.com, create an application, subscribe it to the Timetables API (free plan, 60 requests/minute) and copy the application's Client ID and API Key into DB_CLIENT_ID / DB_API_KEY.

Workflow

  1. dbt_search_stations resolves a name (prefix), a DS100 code or an EVA number to the station's eva (e.g. 8000107 = Freiburg(Breisgau) Hbf, 8011160 = Berlin Hbf, 8000105 = Frankfurt(Main)Hbf, 8000261 = München Hbf). Umlauts in a prefix are unreliable — search 'Munchen' or 'Muenchen' as well as 'München'.
  2. dbt_get_station_board returns the planned timetable of one hour: every train with its id, category (ICE, RE, S …), number, planned arrival/departure time and platform, and the route (from / to are the stop lists as |-separated strings).
  3. dbt_get_changes returns all known changes for the station (updated every 30 s): per train id, the changed time (ct), changed platform (cp), status (cs: c = cancelled, a = added) and messages. dbt_get_recent_changes is the same feed limited to the last two minutes — poll it instead of the full feed when watching a station.
  4. Match the id from the plan with the id in the changes; delay in minutes = changed time − planned time.

Times are yyMMddHHmm in local German time (2609151427 = 15 Sep 2026, 14:27). The plan is sliced by hour: date is yyMMdd, hour is HH (00–23), both of the current local time in Germany.

Changes without a matching plan entry are trains that stop at the station in another hour; fetch that hour's plan if they matter.
