AMTRAK-API

This project provides developers with a standard and ergonomic Rust API for calling the various endpoints in Amtrak Train API. It handles the serialization and deserialization of the requests and responses and allows the developer to use the provided well-defined data types. It also handles some of the messy parts of the API (multiple serializations per stop, quarky endpoint responses, multiple datetime formats, etc).

Example Usage

//! # Example: Filter Trains
//!
//! This example shows how to filter trains based on the route name and then
//! determine what station the train is currently in route to.
use amtrak_api::{Client, TrainStatus};
use chrono::{Local, Utc};
