Hello friends,

In this post, we'll see a Python script to fetch the PNR status of a railway ticket for a given PNR information. The script use Rail Yatri to get the PNR status. The library beautiful soup is used to extract the relevant information. The script prompts user for a PNR number and then fetches information from Rail Yatri for the PNR.

#! /usr/bin/python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from time import sleep

try:
 pnr = input('Enter PNR : ')
 url = 'http://www.railyatri.in/pnr-status/' + pnr
 html = requests.get(url)
 soup = BeautifulSoup(html.text, 'lxml')
 crntStatus = soup.findAll('span', {'class':'arrival_span'})
 bkngStatus = soup.findAll('span', {'class':'departure'})
 print(bkngStatus)
 try:
  print('PNR Status', 'Booking Satus: ' + bs[1].text + '\n' + 'Curent Satus: ' + cs[2].text) 
 except:
  print("Invalid PNR. Try again!")

except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
 print("Connection Error. Try again!")
