Export as geoJSON

It is likely that you'll want to view these NaPTAN stops on a map. The naptan.export_geojson function generates a geoJSON file — providing a handy file format that can be readily consumed and mapped by a variety of platforms or software.

You can pass in the result of either naptan.get_all_stops, naptan.get_area_stops or naptan.get_specific_stops to the function. Also, provide the path and name of the output file to the path parameter.

import naptan

# Get the active stops for Cornwall (area = 80)
cornish_stops = naptan.get_area_stops([80])

# and export
naptan.export_geojson(cornish_stops, path='cornish_stops.json')

import naptan # Get the active stops for Cornwall (area = 80) cornish_stops = naptan.get_area_stops([80]) # and export naptan.export_geojson(cornish_stops, path='cornish_stops.json')

A snippet of the result is below:
