Run it with your agent

after installing Wield

Ask in plain words. Your agent finds this recipe and calls it:

“Show live departures at a Munich public transport stop.”

Read-only: it changes nothing on the site. No login needed.

    "recipe_id": "mvg.de/get-departures",
    "params": {

Requests

sent from your browser, in order
  1. 1GET/api/bgw-pt/v3/locations?queryMVG's stop search.
  2. 2GET/api/bgw-pt/v3/departures?globalId&limit&transportTypesMVG's departure monitor API. It applies limit before its (loose) transport-type filter, so the recipe asks for 40 and filters and cuts itself.

Parameters

from your agent
limitenum 5 | 10 | 20 = 10
stationstringrequiredStop name, e.g. 'Marienplatz', 'Ostbahnhof'
transport_typesstring[] = ["UBAHN","SBAHN","TRAM","BUS","REGIONAL_BUS","BAHN"]

Returns

to your agent

Where it can send

  • www.mvg.de

Anything else is blocked by the extension.

Reads from your session

Nothing. Your browser attaches the site's cookies by itself.

Used only in requests to the addresses on the left. Never sent to wield.run or your agent.

Checks

a run passes when
  • length(output.departures) > `3`
  • output.departures[0].planned_ms > `1700000000000`
  • length(output.departures[?line != `null`]) == length(output.departures)
  • contains(output.station, 'Marienplatz')

Raw recipe

Served as canonical JSON from /api/v1/recipes/mvg.de/get-departures, so its sha256 matches the ETag and the index.
