What is asked for
Time window: · change
Counted exactly as the clients wrote them. A station can be asked for by its name or by its number, the Swiss stop ID (8507000 is Bern), and the count does not look either up: «Bern», «bern» and «8507000» are three entries for the same station, and a station may therefore rank lower than it is asked for. Rate-limited and failed requests are not counted.

Data sources
What the API answers from, and when it was fetched. Each timetable file is a complete version, not a change to the one before; real time is a complete snapshot every 30 seconds. See Source.

Calls and errors
Errors are answers the API could not give: search.ch failing or timing out, unknown paths, wrong methods, invalid parameters. Rate-limited requests (HTTP 429) are not errors and not counted here. Errors are counted from 22. November 2015 on.
Each bar is the calls of a year or a day, the red part its errors. Hover a bar for the figures and the error rate. The paler bar is the year or day so far; the rate for 2015 counts from 22. November on, and there is none before.
