A typical wiring for get nearest stations: create feeds the geo_point pin; open connection feeds the flow pin; number feeds the latitude pin; open connection feeds the connection pin; number feeds the longitude pin; the flow out pin feeds debug.

Commonly used with

In production blueprints, this block is most often wired together with:

  • create: feeds into this block. Generates a geo point based on the given latitude and longitude.
  • open connection: feeds into this block. Open a connection with the NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) Reisinformatie API. Reuse the resulting connection in the other NS blocks.
  • number: feeds into this block. Generates a valid number from the filled custom value in the blueprint.
