jisu-train

What This Skill Does

The jisu-train skill is a powerful extension for the OpenClaw AI agent that integrates directly with the JisuAPI train database. It serves as a comprehensive tool for travelers, providing real-time data on railway logistics. The skill allows the agent to perform three primary functions: searching for direct routes between two cities (station-to-station), checking the full itinerary and stop schedule for a specific train number, and verifying real-time ticket availability. By processing queries about departure and arrival times, travel duration, and seat classes (including pricing and remaining inventory), this skill transforms OpenClaw into a personal travel assistant capable of handling complex trip planning tasks.

Installation

To integrate this skill, ensure you have the OpenClaw environment properly initialized. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jisuapi/train

After installation, you must obtain an API key from JisuAPI Train Service. Once secured, export it as an environment variable to allow the agent to authenticate: export JISU_API_KEY="your_appkey_here". This setup ensures the script can communicate securely with the remote server.

Use Cases

• Route Planning: Identify all available high-speed or standard train connections between any two Chinese cities for a given date. Compare durations and ticket prices to optimize your itinerary.
• Itinerary Management: Use the specific train number feature to check every station stop and expected arrival time, which is essential if you are planning to board or alight at intermediate stations.
• Travel Logistics: Before heading to the station, use the ticket availability function to check if specific seat tiers (e.g., first-class, second-class, business) are still available, saving you from potential travel disruptions.

Example Prompts

1. "查一下明天从上海到北京的所有高铁，并列出它们的出发时间和票价。"
2. "查询 G34 次列车的具体行程，它会在哪些站停靠，分别是几点？"
3. "我想买 4 月 3 号杭州去北京的火车票，现在还有票吗？帮我查下余票情况。"

Tips & Limitations

• Data Accuracy: Always ensure you provide the correct city names (in Chinese) to avoid lookup failures.
• Date Formatting: When requesting specific dates, adhere to the YYYY-MM-DD format to prevent parsing errors.
• API Limits: Keep in mind that the JisuAPI may have rate limits or usage quotas based on your subscription tier; check their dashboard periodically to avoid service interruptions.
• Error Handling: If the agent returns a 201 or 202 error code, double-check your input parameters—ensure the train number is valid or that the start/end station names are correctly typed.
• Efficiency: Chain your requests: use station2s for discovery, then narrow down your selection using line for schedule details and ticket for final verification.
