Get faster Renfe trains timetables in your terminal, with Python3.7+ support. No longer need to open the browser! Just keep using your terminal 😀
renfe-cli is written in Rust (since v4.0.0) and published to pypi.org as a Python package (CLI and library).
See the changelog.
NOTE since I am more often using Rodalies trains I have created rodalies-cli. I hope you like it too!
DISCLAIMER: Renfe's GTFS dataset might not be in sync with autonomic train schedules (e.g. Rodalies de la Generalitat de Catalunya), hence Renfe Cercanias train types (e.g.: REGIONAL or MD type) might not be accurate. For that, please use autonomic data/apps (.e.g: rodalies-cli).
Install Python CLI package renfe-cli
pip install renfe-cli --upgradeThe CLI uses the official and latest Renfe's GTFS dataset, from Horarios de alta velocidad, larga distancia y media distancia.
$ renfe-cli -h
Usage: renfe-cli [options]
Options:
-f ORIGIN Set From origin station
-t DESTINATION Set To destination station
-d, --day DAY Set the Day (default: today's day)
-m, --month MONTH Set the Month (default: today's month)
-y, --year YEAR Set the Year (default: today's year)
-s, --sort Option to sort the timetable by Duration
-h, --help Print this help menuLet's show an example of minimal inputs (origin and destination stations) with specific date:
$ renfe-cli -f girona -t "puerta de atocha" -d 30
Loading GTFS data from Renfe web
Provided input 'girona' does a match with 'Estación de tren Girona'
Provided input 'puerta de atocha' does a match with 'Estación de tren Madrid-Puerta de Atocha'
Today is: 2024-9-29
Searching timetable for date: 2024-9-30

This project makes use of Rust bindings for the Python interpreter thanks to pyo3. It is already available as a dependency.
To develop, build and publish, this project makes use of maturin project. See usage.
Example of first time working with this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/gerardcl/renfe-cli.git && cd renfe-cli
$ python -m venv .venv
$ . .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install -U maturin
$ maturin develop
🔗 Found pyo3 bindings with abi3 support for Python ≥ 3.7
🐍 Not using a specific python interpreter
📡 Using build options features from pyproject.toml
