DB Live Monitor

Unofficial Live Departure Monitor for German Railway Stations

🚧 Project Status

This project is undergoing major development and is currently in beta. Expect frequent updates, breaking changes, and occasional downtime. Your feedback is highly appreciated!

Live Demo: https://db-live-monitor.vercel.app

🚨 Disclaimer

This project is a passion-driven effort and is still evolving. While I strive for accuracy, I can't guarantee the data is always 100% reliable. This is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with Deutsche Bahn AG.

📡 Data Sources

This project uses multiple data sources to provide comprehensive railway information:

• DB Vendo API: Board data (departure/arrival information) and journey details
• ÖBB HAFAS: Train number searching
• IRIS: Timetable data and train order information

Note: Regio Guide has been deprecated and replaced with the DB Vendo API for improved data access. Also I use semi-customized wrappers for the apis because of limitations inside of NextJS.
