You need to obtain API keys to access CTA data. The API keys are two separate keys for two services.

• Bus API
• Train API

The bus tracker API key can be obtained immediately, the train tracker key can take a few days to register.

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

var config = {
  modules: [
    {
      module: 'MMM-CTA',
      config: {
        // See below for configurable options
      }
    }
  ]
}

The stops option is an array of objects. Each object represents a stop to display.

{
  stops: [
    {
      type: 'bus',
      id: 561,
      name: 'Chicago and Milwaukee'
    },
    {
      type: 'train',
      id: 41410,
      name: 'Blue Line'
    }
  ]
}

1. Go to CTA Trackers and select Train or Bus Tracker.
2. Search for your stop inside of the given app
3. Once you find your stop, obtain the Id. It will be the number at the end of the page's URL
   1. For train tracker, it may look like ?sid={id}. The id is the stop ID.
   2. For bus tracker, it may look like Southbound/{id}. The id is the stop ID.
