gobble

Gobble is a service that reads the MBTA V3 Streaming API for all train/bus events, and writes them out to a format that can be understood by the TransitMatters Data Dashboard.

Requirements to develop locally

• Python 3.12
• poetry

Development Instructions

1. Duplicate config/template.json into config/local.json, and change the null out with your MBTA V3 API key.
2. In the root directory, run poetry install to install dependencies
3. Run poetry run python3 src/gobble.py to start.
4. Output will be in data/ in your current working directory. Good luck!

Linting

$ poetry run flake8 src
$ poetry run black --check src
