# VasttraPi on Google Assistant

A simple Python web server, in Flask, which is interfaced with an Action on Google Assistant. The server reuses code from [VasttraPi](https://github.com/platisd/vasttraPi) to communicate with Västtrafik so to fetch the latest departures for the selected stations.

## Get started

If you want a custom Google Action that talks to a sample Python server, then please follow this [Instructable](https://www.instructables.com/id/Create-Custom-Actions-for-Google-Assistant/).

To set up a REST server that retrieves departures from Västtrafik:

* Install PyTrafik

  * `git clone https://github.com/axelniklasson/PyTrafik.git`

  * `sudo pip3 install PyTrafik/`

* Create an `api-config` file in the root folder of this repository with your [Västtrafik API tokens](https://developer.vasttrafik.se/portal/#/applications)

* Edit `bus_assistant.py` by providing your business logic (e.g. stations of interest)

* Run `bus_assistant.py`

  * `python3 bus_assistant.py`
