Hi there

I would like to update all bus stops on the island of Tenerife with a
link to the status website of upcoming connections to this bus stop:

  * An example of bus stop: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1147359056
  * Each such bus stop inhibits a reference: ref=4004
  * This reference can be used to obtain that bus stops upcoming
    connections: http://movil.titsa.com/infoparada.php?IdParada=4004
  * Actually, in reality each bus stop has a QR code to check this
    status, which leads to the latter website.
  * Hence, all these QR codes are spread across the island, I assume the
    link will seldomly change.
  * There is also an Ajax link:
    https://titsa.com/ajax/xGetInfoParada.php?id_parada=4004 (But thats
    directly from the website and probably not that stable as the former
    one).

I think, this link would be good to have with each bus stop for Tenerife
on OSM, so one can easily derive the upcoming departure times, even when
not being nearby the bus stop.


Furthermore each bus line on the island has a timetable available
online, that I would like to link for each bus line:

  * An example bus line: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7165110
  * Each such bis line inhibits a reference code: ref=419
  * This reference can be used to obtain that bus lines timestable and
    overview website:
    https://titsa.com/index.php/tus-guaguas/lineas-y-horarios/linea-419
  * An alternative link is this:
    https://movil.titsa.com/infolinea.php?IdLinea=021 (But I guess, it
    is less useful and does not immediately display the general times.)

Also these links would be good to have with each bus line.


What do you think about this idea? What would be the best way to achieve
this in an automated way?

I know the Overpass API and I could probably readily identify all the
relevant bus stop nodes and bus line relations.  However, I have never
updated such things in an automated way.

Many thanks

Klaus
