Frequently asked questions
No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Trainline. The Trainline API returns structured JSON from public Trainline pages. It does not book tickets and needs no Trainline account.
Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.50 per 1,000 requests depending on your plan.
No. Only successful answers with data are billed. An upstream failure, an unknown id and an empty list are not billed.
No. total_price is the price for all passengers of the search. per_passenger_price on each fare is the price of one passenger.
The booking horizon is about 178 days. Searches and calendars beyond it answer a validation error.
