KVV-PHP (unofficial)
====================

[](#kvv-php-unofficial)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This is an unofficial PHP library for the KVV public transport association in Germany (Baden-Württemberg). It is not developed as part of the official KVV information system and therefore is subject to change without notice.

The library consists of two main modules. The `\KVV\EFA` and the `\KVV\Live\EFA` endpoint. Both of them allow you to request different data and do different operations. The `\KVV\Live\EFA` is signifikantly faster than the other one, because it does not need to parse HTML code and consequently is also more stable. The following is a feature list, showing what you can do with this library.

### Basic \\KVV\\EFA API

[](#basic-kvvefa-api)

- search for bus/tram stations and place names via [autocomplete api](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Basic-Usage#autocomplete)
- search for trips between two locations via [search api](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Basic-Usage#search)
- search for trips with special attributes such as low-floor vehicles via [advanced search api](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Advanced-Usage#search-optimization)
- paging between trips via [paging module](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Advanced-Usage#paging-recommended-implementation)

### Fast \\KVV\\Live\\EFA API

[](#fast-kvvliveefa-api)

- [search stops by name](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Live-API#search-stop-by-name)
- [search stops by id](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Live-API#search-stop-by-id)
- [search stops by latitude and longitude](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Live-API#search-stop-by-latitudelongitude)
- [request live departures from tram stops](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Live-API#grab-live-departures-by-stop-id)
- [request live departures by stop and route](https://github.com/MartinLoeper/KVV-PHP-unofficial-/wiki/Live-API#grab-live-departures-by-stop-id-and-route)
