Obtaining API authentication details

You will need to obtain a user ID (also called a devid) and an API key from Public Transport Victoria. These are obtained by email. Instructions are available at https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/footer/data-and-reporting/datasets/ptv-timetable-api/. You may pass these two pieces of information directly to the function, or you can set the PTV_USER_ID and PTV_API_KEY environment variables.
