Historical data set of Luas Real Time Information
I have a dataset of real time information for the Luas since January 19th, 2020. Uncompressed it's about 10GB in size, but you can download a ~500MB zip of it from OneDrive.

I do not know. I was working on a dotnet Luas API at the time at this was something easy to do. I figured, by the time I got to it I might have a use case for it, maybe some sort of forecast planning.
How does it work?
On my server I run a cron job every two minutes, that runs a simple application that hits every stations endpoint, and appends the results to a never ending TSV. Every so often I manually download that TSV to store it locally.
Do you have the code?
Unfortunately, I seem to have misplace the code. I do have the compiled dotnet code on the server, but I have not got the source code.
Do you have a license for this data?
While I haven't attached a license to this code, you are more than welcome to use this data as you see fit.
If you do use it, I would love to know what you do with it (let me know on Twitter).
If you need a more proper license please let me know and I can research it a bit more.
