FAQPage Schema
How do I check real-time Seoul subway arrivals for a specific station?

The Skill retrieves real-time subway arrival information for a named Seoul station by querying the Seoul Open Data API through the k-skill-proxy endpoint, summarizing line, direction, and upcoming scheduled times.

What information is included in the Seoul subway arrival summary?

The subway arrival summary includes the train line, direction or branch, and the first couple of upcoming arrivals with their scheduled times, along with the retrieval time context to indicate data freshness.

Do I need an API key to get real-time transit data for Seoul subway stations?

You do not need an upstream API key to get real-time transit data, because the Skill requires using a hosted or self-hosted k-skill-proxy endpoint that queries the Seoul Open Data API without exposing keys to the client.

Can I look up approaching train listings for any Seoul subway station?

Yes, you can look up approaching service listings for any named Seoul subway station, as the Skill is specifically designed for scenarios where you need immediate arrival timing and upcoming train information.

Why does the real-time subway arrival information change so quickly?

Real-time subway arrival information changes quickly due to live transit conditions, which is why the Skill includes the retrieval time context to help you interpret the rapidly changing arrival data accurately.

What are the limitations of using open data for Seoul subway arrivals?

A limitation of using Seoul Open Data for subway arrivals is that the Skill provides a basic summary without exposing upstream API keys, meaning it relies on the proxy endpoint availability and the real-time data accuracy of the external API.
