Stoppoint/Search get inbound and outbound stops

Unified API
1

I’m using Stoppoint/Search to find stoppoints by common name.
This call returns only one (parent?) stoppoint :Merrivale “topMostParentId”:“490G00009820”
/StopPoint/Search/merriv

Is it possible to get both inbound and outbound stop in the search call so I get the children (Stop H and Stop J) of this call?
/StopPoint/490G00009820

Thanks

Hi.

From the data returned, use the lat,lon …

Use a call using ?lat=x&lon=y&radius=300

https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Stoppoint?lat=51.643116&lon=-0.130095&stopTypes=NaptanPublicBusCoachTram&radius=300&useStopPointHierarchy=True&returnLines=True

See https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Stoppoint?lat=51.643116&lon=-0.130095&stopTypes=NaptanPublicBusCoachTram&radius=300&useStopPointHierarchy=True&returnLines=True

Hi briantist,
if i search “merr” I get 23 results
https://api.tfl.gov.uk/StopPoint/Search/merr

  1. Homer Road
  2. Chequers Lane / Merrilands Retail Park,
  3. Merrielands Crescent
  4. Merrimans Corner / Harlington Road
    …

You mean I have to do another 23 calls to get the inbound/outbound pairs?
I have seen apps that return instantly the pairs.
Isn’t there any way to get directly the 46 results?

Thanks

albert,

When I’ve use this in an app, I’ve used a local cache to store the results of the second search (memcached, for example).

The data that you need from the location+service search would change so infrequently, you keep it locally for years without needing to re-check.
