.NET GTFS-realtime Language Bindings

Provides .NET classes generated from the GTFS-realtime Protocol Buffer specification. These classes will allow you to parse a binary Protocol Buffer GTFS-realtime data feed into C# objects.

Add the Dependency

To use the gtfs-realtime-bindings classes in your own project, you need to first install the module from the NuGet repository.

Install-Package GtfsRealtimeBindings

Example Code

The following code snippet demonstrates downloading a GTFS-realtime data feed from a particular URL, parsing it as a FeedMessage (the root type of the GTFS-realtime schema), and iterating over the results.

using System.Net;
using ProtoBuf;
using transit_realtime;

WebRequest req = HttpWebRequest.Create("URL OF YOUR GTFS-REALTIME SOURCE GOES HERE");
FeedMessage feed = Serializer.Deserialize<FeedMessage>(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream());
foreach (FeedEntity entity in feed.entity) {
  ...
}
