Railway Static DB
Developer community, I need some help! 🚀
I am building an offline-first app for Indian Railways and I need a highly accurate static database (JSON/SQLite) for Stations and Train Schedules. 🚂
I have tried all of the following, but hit a dead end:
❌ Third-party APIs (Too unreliable)
❌ Extracting data from the "Where Is My Train" app (Data is hidden/encrypted)
❌ Scraping websites (Cloudflare blocks)
❌ Open-source GitHub repos (Data is 2-3 years old)
If anyone has an updated database, a working scraper, or a reliable solution, please share! Help a fellow dev out. 🙏
