This is a unofficial wrapping of the API of Israeli Rail network in Python.

Use this script for checking your own train schedule, integrating with Alexa, and so on!

Installing

Tested with Python 3.8-3.14.

pip install israel-rail-api

Usage

import israelrailapi
schedule = israelrailapi.TrainSchedule()
routes = schedule.query('Tel Aviv University', 'Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon')
for route in routes:
    print(route)

Each returned route contains one or more train segments in route.trains. Every segment is a TrainRoutePart with:

• src / dst: source and destination station ids
• departure / arrival: scheduled departure and arrival timestamps
• platform / dst_platform: origin and destination platforms
• departure_delay: departure delay in minutes for the segment origin station

Example:

import israelrailapi
schedule = israelrailapi.TrainSchedule()
routes = schedule.query('Tel Aviv HaHagana', 'Ben Gurion Airport', '2026-04-24', '09:00')
for route in routes:
    for train in route.trains:
        print(
            train.departure,
            train.arrival,
            f"delay={train.departure_delay}m",
        )

CLI example:

python3 israelrailapi/schedule.py "tel aviv hahagana" "ben gurion airport" 2026-04-24 0900
