Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries and stations does this cover?
It covers the full Deutsche Bahn network across Germany plus cross-border European connections that bahn.de sells, including hubs like Wien Hbf, Zurich HB, Amsterdam Centraal and Paris. You can search any of the 5500+ stations and cities in the bahn.de timetable by name.

How many connections can I get per run?
Set Max Items to control the count. The scraper pages forward in time from your chosen departure, returning roughly five connections per page, and keeps going until it reaches your limit, so you can collect dozens of connections for a single route and date.

Can I search by arrival time instead of departure?
Yes. Set Time refers to "Arrive by" and the scraper returns connections that arrive at or before the time you set, instead of departing from it. You can also pick first or second class and cap the number of transfers.

Why is the price sometimes empty?
Some cross-border or regional connections do not have a single through ticket on bahn.de, so no combined price is returned and the price is left empty while the times, legs and train types are still captured. Enable fare details to also pull every individual fare offer where available.

Why does this need a German residential proxy?
The bahn.de booking endpoint blocks requests from datacenter networks, so a German residential proxy is enabled by default to retrieve live connections and prices reliably. Station search works without it.
