I noticed this evening that my app is throwing an error whenever it calls GetDeparturesByStop for a stop with no buses coming. The API (versions 2.0 and 2.1) reports Code:{
"time": "2012-06-16T21:40:44-05:00",
"new_changeset": true,
"status": {
"code": 200,
"msg": "ok"
},
"rqst": {
"method": "GetDeparturesByStop",
"params": {
"pt": 60,
"stop_id": "APTHICRS"
}
}
}
which causes an error in my app, since it expected a "departures" array, even if an empty one. This request goes fine when there are buses coming. Edited by user Saturday, June 16, 2012 8:43:52 PM(UTC)

Sorry about that. The issue should be fixed now. By the way, if there are no buses coming it will indeed return an empty array and a 200 status code, but if you request a stop that doesn't exist it will return a 404 as the status code and "Stop not found" as the message. Hopefully this will allow developers to display the appropriate message to their users.
