Information for a given run

Source: R/runs.R

Run IDs are not unique across the network. If you are interested in a specific run, consider supplying a value to the optional route_type argument.

run_information(
  run_ref,
  route_type = NULL,
  include_geopath = FALSE,
  geopath_utc = NULL,
  date_utc = NULL,
  user_id = determine_user_id(),
  api_key = determine_api_key()
)

Arguments

run_ref

A character run reference. This supersedes the integer run_id. For backwards compatibility and since most run references are integers, this function will attempt to convert an the argument to a character. Run references may be retrieved from the departures or runs_on_route functions.
route_type

Optionally filter results by a route type. A route type can be provided either as a non-negative integer code, or as a character: "Tram", "Train", "Bus", "Vline" or "Night Bus". Character inputs are not case-sensitive. Use the route_types function to extract a vector of all route types.
include_geopath

Logical. Whether to populate the geopath column. Defaults to FALSE.
geopath_utc

Date, or character that can be converted to a date. The UTC date for which the geopaths are effective. Defaults to the current date. Has no effect if include_geopath = FALSE. It's uncertain how much historical or future-dated data is available.
date_utc

Date, or character that can be converted to a date. The UTC date for which the results are effective. Defaults to the current date. It's uncertain how much historical or future-dated data is available. This argument is experimental and seems to not be functioning.
user_id

Integer or character. A user ID or devid provided by Public Transport Victoria. Refer to ?ptvapi for more details.
api_key

Character. An API key, with dashes, provided by Public Transport Victoria. Refer to ?ptvapi for more details.
