It's a fork of the original py_nextbus maintained for continued compatibility. The package depends only on requests and requires Python 3.10 or later.\n\nYou use it by instantiating a NextBusClient and calling methods like get_agencies() to retrieve transit information. It's designed for developers building applications that need live bus arrival times or route data from transit agencies that use the NextBus system.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a straightforward Python interface to NextBus data and are comfortable with an aging but still-maintained package. The low install friction, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. However, verify that the NextBus API is still active for your use case and that the fork's API changes don't conflict with your requirements."},"id":"py-nextbusnext","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-nextbusnext","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-nextbusnext.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-nextbusnext/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py-nextbusnext","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Minimalistic Python client for the NextBus public API for real-time transit arrival data"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74068,"position":14879,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.0"}
