    I guess IRCTC API is available, but it's not open to everyone. There are a number of ticketing websites that allow you to book IRCTC tickets; but it looks like in order to use them; your company needs to have an annual turnover of about Rs. 5 crores. 😲 [Not sure though].

    yes i too read this 😁 , but i don't want api for ticket booking , instead i need api for tracking location of trains

    if there is no api available then i will just have one option of scraping that also i am not sure would be a gud idea

    Check <a href="https://erail.in/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Indian Railways Enquiry PNR Status Live Status IRCTC Reservation Seats</a>
    They are using it.
    you can use HttpAnalyser to fetch all query url and Google APIto draw a pathmap.

    Thanks anoop

    I was just looking for something that would take me less effort otherwise this is already a option for me

    My Plan is to display movement of trains on live basis on google maps, for this continuous ajax calls won't be a good option,

    Would you suggest any alternative for this?

    You want to integrate TrainInquiry information on the erail like google api <a href="https://erail.in/rail/frm_Rail_Map.aspx?TrainID=1960" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Train Route</a> graph.
    Its a nice idea to blink current train location on plotted graph.
    I don't know if railway provides api. but I think you can do this using HttpAnalyser.

    It is better you to directly contact with the Railway by using their official website. Surely they will provide you API.

    You can get you api for very cheap rates around Rs 1000 for 3 months. But price matters the services. They have per day limit for no. of request you can pass to their servers.
