๐Ÿš‡ Hong Kong MTR Realtime Scraper

๐Ÿš€ Export live Hong Kong MTR train schedule and arrival times from the Hong Kong open data portal in seconds. From the public Hong Kong MTR source to spreadsheet, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

The Hong Kong MTR Realtime Scraper turns the Hong Kong MTR public endpoint into a clean, structured dataset. It pulls live Hong Kong MTR train schedule and arrival times from the Hong Kong open data portal, normalizes the fields, and pushes one row per record.

Coverage is whatever Hong Kong MTR publishes on the public endpoint at the moment you run the actor. No login, no API key, no scraping tricks. Just clean data, ready for analysis.

๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases
๐Ÿ“Š AnalystsPull a fresh snapshot for dashboards
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ DevelopersMirror the feed into your own database
๐Ÿ“ฐ JournalistsVerify facts quickly without writing client code
๐Ÿค– ML engineersBuild training sets from the public feed
๐Ÿข Operations teamsMonitor changes over time
๐ŸŽ“ ResearchersUse the data for academic studies

๐Ÿ“‹ What the Hong Kong MTR Realtime Scraper does

  • Calls the public Hong Kong MTR endpoint and parses the response.
  • Flattens the data into one row per record with clean field names.
  • Surfaces upstream errors as a single record with the error field set, so your pipeline does not crash.
  • Lets you cap the output with maxItems for cheap previews.
  • Streams results to the Apify dataset for instant export.

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters: Public feeds change shape and field names constantly. This actor gives you a stable, documented schema your downstream tooling can rely on.

๐Ÿ“Š Data fields

Each record includes: dest, direction, line, plat, results, scrapedAt, station, time, trainSeq, ttnt, valid. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

โš ๏ธ Good to Know: This actor depends on the public Hong Kong MTR endpoint. If the upstream is rate-limiting or temporarily unavailable, the actor pushes a single record with the error field populated. Re-run later.
