Trainline Price Prediction API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/trainline/journeys/price-prediction

Trainline Price Prediction API Documentation Read how the advance fare of a journey changes as the date of travel comes closer. Each tier has the fare name, the price, the period in which it is sold and the tickets left when known. The selected tier is the one you can buy now. Standard and first class are listed on their own.
