Example Use Cases
These are example ways Snow can use Bart when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.
Downloads the BART static GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) schedule feed as a ZIP archive. The GTFS feed contains comprehensive transit data including stations, routes, trip schedules, fares, and service calendars in standardized CSV format. Use this to access complete BART schedule information for route planning, analysis, or integration with transit applications.
Get the current version of the BART API. This action retrieves version information for the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) API, including the current API version number, copyright information, and license details. This is useful for verifying API compatibility and ensuring you're working with the expected API version. The BART API is currently at version 3.10 and supports both XML and JSON output formats. Use this action to confirm which version of the API you're interfacing with and to access licensing information.
DEPRECATED: Retrieve available BART schedules (deprecated since Dec 2, 2019). This endpoint is deprecated and returns an empty schedules list. BART recommends using GTFS/GTFS-RT feeds for current schedule data instead. Use BART_GET_GTFS_STATIC_SCHEDULE_FEED for schedule information.
Get fare information between two BART stations including Clipper and cash prices. Returns multiple fare types (Clipper, cash, senior/disabled, youth, Clipper START) with their respective prices. Use this when you need to find out how much a BART trip costs between two stations.
Tool to retrieve schedule information based on a specified arrival time. Use when planning trips arriving by a given time.
Get BART train schedules departing from an origin station to a destination station at a specified time. Returns multiple trip options with departure/arrival times, fares (Clipper, cash, senior/disabled, youth), transfer details, train information, and platform numbers. Use this when you need to plan BART trips with specific departure times or when users ask about train schedules between two stations.
Get a list of all BART stations with their complete information. This action retrieves information about all BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) stations including station names, abbreviation codes, geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), and full addresses. This is useful for finding station locations, getting station codes for other API calls, or building station lookup tools.
Tool to fetch current elevator status across all BART stations. Use when you need real-time elevator availability information for accessibility planning or route guidance.
Tool to get real-time estimated departure times for a specified BART station. Returns live train departure predictions including minutes until departure, platform assignments, train lengths, line colors, bicycle accommodation, and delay information. Use this when you need current departure times for planning trips or checking train status.
Tool to fetch GTFS-RT service alerts in protobuf format for integration with GTFS static feed. Use when you need real-time service advisories, disruptions, or alert information.
