Table 1. Mandatory Parameters
Parameter	Data Type	Description
app_id	String	Typically, but not guaranteed to be, 20 bytes Base64 URL-safe encoded string used for the authentication of the client application. If you use the app ID/app code option, you need to include an `app_id` and `app_code` with every request. For further details, see Acquiring Credentials.
app_code	String	Typically, but not guaranteed to be, 20 bytes Base64 URL-safe encoded string used for the authentication of the client application. If you use the app ID/app code option, you need to include an `app_id` and `app_code` with every request. For further details, see Acquiring Credentials.
apiKey	String	A 43-byte Base64 URL-safe encoded string used for the authentication of the client application. As a logged in user, you can generate it at https://developer.here.com/projects. API Keys never expire but you can invalidate your API Keys at any time. You cannot have more than two API Keys for one app at the same time. You must include an `apiKey` with every request. For further details, see Acquiring Credentials.
stnId	String	Specifies a station id for the request. Remember to url encode the '#' with %23
time	DateTime	Specifies the time in ISO 8601 (for example, 2020-06-24T01:23:45) format. When the optional timezone offset is not specified time is assumed to be local. All xs:dateTime in the response are also returned without timezone. When timezone offset is specified, the time will get converted to local time valid at the requested station. All xs:dateTime in the response will also contain timezone offset.

Table 2. Optional Parameters
Parameter	Data Type	Description
callbackFunc	String	Specifies an arbitrary string used to wrap the JSON object in the response.
callbackId	Integer	If you specify the parameter `callbackId`, specifies the first argument to the function specified by the `callbackFunc`.
lang	String	Specifies the language of the response. The value complies with the ISO 639-1 standard and defaults to `en`.
modes	String	Specifies the transit type filter used to determine which types of transit to include in the response. By default the parameter is omitted, meaning all supported transit types are permitted. See Transit Modes page for more information.
max	Integer	Specifies the maximum number of next departures the response should include. The default value is 40. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 500.
strict	Integer	Specifies which station departures the response should include. Specify `strict=1` to only include departures from the given station id. Default behaviour is that a request to a stop causes the response to contain equivalent stops.
maxPerTransport	Integer	Define the maximum number of results per transport returned in the response. A transport is identified by his name, direction and mode. When not set, all departures are returned, otherwise the first `maxPerTransport` departures for each transport in chronological order are returned. Range: 1-10
sort	Enum	Define how the departures are sorted. By default the departures are returned sorted by scheduled time. When `sort=transport`, the departures are sorted first by transport and then by scheduled time. sort=time: means sorted by Dep@time sort=transport: means that we sort by name, direction and mode in this order, i.e. Dep/Transport@name, Dep/Transport@dir, Dep/Transport@mode, Dep@time The default is `sort=time`.
timespan	Integer	Limit the next departures to the defined time window and starting from the `time` provided in the request. When not set, this filter is not applied and a maximum of 24 hours of departures can be returned. The filter will remove all departures outside the interval defined by `time` and `timespan`. Range: 1-1440 minutes The default is `none`.
