Schema:

Column	Type	Description
station_name	string	Name of the station
xml_station_name	string	Station name from the XML response
eva	string	EVA station number (unique identifier)
train_number	string	Train number / Zugnummer, the raw tl.n value identifying a specific train run (e.g., "123", "12603"). Combine with train_type for a label like "ICE 123"
line_number	string	Line number / Liniennummer, the raw ar.l/dp.l value identifying the route, non-unique (e.g., "RB23", "14"); null for long-distance trains (ICE/IC/EC) where the API provides no line
final_destination_station	string	Final destination of the train
delay_in_min	integer	Delay in minutes
time	timestamp	Actual arrival or departure time
arrival_is_canceled	boolean	Whether the arrival at the train stop was canceled
departure_is_canceled	boolean	Whether the departure from the train stop was canceled
train_type	string	Type of train (e.g., "ICE", "IC", "RE")

arrival_change_time	timestamp	Actual/changed arrival time
departure_planned_time	timestamp	Planned departure time
departure_change_time	timestamp	Actual/changed departure time
id	string	Unique identifier for the train stop

Schema:

Column	Type	Description
timestamp	timestamp	When the API request was made
url	string	The API endpoint URL that was queried
api_name	string	Name of the API (e.g., "timetables/v1/plan", "timetables/v1/fchg")
query_params	string	JSON string of query parameters used
response_data	string	Raw XML or JSON response from the API
status_code	string	HTTP status code of the response
error	string	Error message if the request failed
duration_ms	float	Request duration in milliseconds
