问题
Is there any API provided by Indian Railways to search its train network, time-tables etc. There are many sites out there which show time-table etc. I searched Google but couldn't find any info on Web services or APIs provided by Railways. Is data scraping the only way?

You need to be a big shot to use their api ( i can't understand why you need to show a turnover of Rs 5 crores to use their API )
Indian Railways opened up it’s ticket booking APIs a few weeks back and here are some fine prints that you need to understand:
* Must have minimum annual turnover (i.e. Gross transaction value) of Rs.5 crore in last financial year from Travel business.
* The OTA will be required to submit a one time non refundable deposit of Rs. 20 lakh once the proposal is approved by IRCTC.
