Converting gtfs rt feed (service alerts) to .pb file

Is there any way to convert from gtfs real time feed (service alerts) to .pb (protocol bufers) file.

Sample service alerts file : https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs-realtime/examples/alerts

I think you might be confused.

GTFS-Realtime is typically encoded in Protocol Buffers format-- which is designed for efficient machine to machine communication. This is not human readable, so many servers include a human readable version.

Since you didn't give enough detail for the source, I can't give a specific answer, but you may need to specify a format in the GET parameters or in the request headers to receive protobuf.

There are a bunch of code examples linked on that same page. Here's one for Python: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs-realtime/examples/python-sample
