Wondering if anyone has tried this before. My goal would be to get the bus locations from this API​​​ into a web map. Thanks.

Here is a link to what the xml endpoint I would like to query periodically looks like: http://webservices.nextbus.com/service/publicXMLFeed?command=vehicleLocations&a=umn-twin&t=0 . (Note they place some limits on how frequently you are allowed to query.)

When I use the input connector "Poll an External Website for XML" I get the error "Failed to get a response". Do I need to develop my own input connector to work with this xml format? Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi Tobias, did you ever figure this out? I'm looking to accomplish the same task in geoevent server. Thanks, M.
