Introduction
# Deutsche Bahn CLI
Search train connections using the `bahn-cli` tool.
## Installation
The tool should be installed globally or in the workspace. If not installed:
```bash cd ~/Code/bahn-cli && npm install ```
## Usage
Search train connections:
```bash cd ~/Code/bahn-cli && node index.js search "<from>" "<to>" [options] ```
### Options
- `--date YYYY-MM-DD` - Departure date (default: today) - `--time HH:MM` - Departure time (default: current time) - `--results <number>` - Number of results to show (default: 5)
### Examples
Search connections from Hannover to Bonn: ```bash cd ~/Code/bahn-cli && node index.js search "Hannover Hbf" "Bonn Hbf" --results 3 ```
Search with specific date and time: ```bash cd ~/Code/bahn-cli && node index.js search "Berlin" "München" --date 2026-02-05 --time 14:30 ```
## Station Names
- Use common German station names - "Hbf" means Hauptbahnhof (main station) - Examples: "Berlin Hbf", "München Hbf", "Frankfurt(Main)Hbf", "Köln Hbf" - Station names are case-insensitive
## Output
The tool shows: - Departure and arrival times - Platform numbers - Duration - Number of changes - Intermediate stops for connections with changes - Train numbers (ICE, IC, RE, etc.)
## Notes
- The CLI uses the db-vendo-client library - Some station names in output may show "undefined" (cosmetic issue, doesn't affect functionality) - Direct connections are listed first - Times are in 24-hour format
