Around the middle of September 2026, we will be replacing one of the software solutions used to create our GTFS Sverige 2 and Samtrafiken Sales data.

Trafikverket data for all rail traffic in Sweden is now available in GTFS Sweden 3. This means that all passenger train traffic is now included in our aggregated feed.

Starting today, March 17th 2026, trip number information is now directly available in our GTFS Regional and GTFS Sweden 3 datasets. Both public and technical trip numbers are now included directly in our GTFS Regional and GTFS Sweden 3 datasets.

SL has launched Journey Planner v2, which will fully replace Route Planner 3.1. The 3.1 service will be shut down on June 30, 2025, and all users must transition to the new API before this date to ensure uninterrupted service.

Trafiklab has introduced the new Trafiklab Realtime APIs, designed to deliver enhanced public transport data for Sweden in a format optimized for modern applications. These APIs are based on GTFS Sweden 3 data and provide live and scheduled transit information in an accessible structure suited for direct use, removing the complexity of GTFS and NeTEx datasets.

Starting February 11th, all GTFS Regional feeds, as well as the GTFS Sweden 3 feed, will be updated to include additional data. A first improvement, affecting both GTFS Regional and GTFS Sweden 3, is the addition of more detailed booking information for trips which need to be booked beforehand.

A new dataset has been added to Trafiklab. This dataset, Samtrafiken Sales data, is a dataset in the NeTEx format containing all traffic which can be sold through the Samtrafiken Access platform.

After almost eight years, SL replaces the Stops and Lines v2 and Departure v4 APIs with 1 new API which combines the features of these two. The SL Transport API is built from the ground up on new back-end systems, which should improve system stability and simplify the old architecture which consisted of 7 APIs.

The API SL Stop lookup is going to get some fresh updates. You will still be able to use your current API-key but you need to switch to the new URL before March 15th 2024.

On January 31, 2024, the WeatherStation dataset will be removed from the Open API. Users currently utilizing this dataset are advised to switch to using either WeatherMeasurepoint or WeatherObservation.

You haven’t missed that our developer portal (developer.trafiklab.se) got a new and fresher look, right? And in addition to a welcome redesign, we have made the site easier and clearer to use.

Starting on the 14th of December 2022, occupancy data is available for Östgötatrafiken. This data is included in the realtime vehicle positions, and shows the realtime occupancy on those vehicles which are equipped with the necessary hardware.

Starting on the 10th of October 2022, realtime data is available for Kronoberg. You are now able to download realtime feeds including information messages, delay estimates, and realtime vehicle positions in both the GTFS and NeTEx format.

After a 6 months migration period, we are now shutting down version 2.0 of the Resrobot API. The majority of all users have made the required changes to their applications, and will therefore not notice a thing.

Starting today, June 21st 2022, realtime data is available in the SIRI format as part of our NeTEx Regional data. This dataset is based on the same data as the GTFS Regional Realtime dataset, and enables you to combine realtime data with our existing NeTEx data.

How data can improve the traveller experience

Starting on the 10th of March 2022, realtime data is available for Västmanland. You are now able to download realtime feeds including information messages, delay estimates, and realtime vehicle positions in both the GTFS and NeTEx format.

Our Resrobot API has got a well deserved update! After more than 6 years with Resrobot 2.0, Resrobot 2.1 is now available. This maintenance update is focussed on updates to the platform back-end and fixes multiple bugs.

For this year’s Christmas, Trafiklab is releasing the KoDa API. This API provides historical data from our GTFS Regional feeds, allowing you to analyse delays, traffic flow (for operators with vehicle positions), ridership (for operators with occupancy date), and more.

Today we launch our new website, along with new API documentation. We hope you find this new site an improvement. The need for something new Over time, Trafiklab grew, getting more APIs, more users, and important for this update, more documentation.

In the past month we have started publishing new data in the GTFS Regional Realtime dataset. This new data shows the occupancy on public transport vehicles in realtime, which adds opportunities and enables use-cases which were not possible before.

In the coming days we will start publishing new data in the GTFS Regional dataset. This new data will show which operator is servicing each trip, which adds opportunities and enables use-cases which were not possible before.

On March 31st Skånetrafiken will be shutting down their realtime API. As Resrobot Stolptidtabeller uses this API, this means that realtime information for Skånetrafiken will no longer be present in the ResRobot Stolptidtabeller data.

In the coming days we will start publishing vehicle positions for SL (Stocksholms lokaltrafik) in the GTFS Regional dataset. This means that all operators which provide realtime will support both TripUpdates, ServiceAlerts and VehiclePositions.

From today our GTFS Regional and NeTEx Regional APIs contain data for all 21 regions in Sweden. Whether it’s a route-planner, analytics tool, or digital signage you’re building, our Regional APIs have you covered with high quality data.

The new SL API has been delayed to Q1 2021. We will update you when we know more. SL launched its first open APIs in 2014 and today there are 7 APIs with a functionality that has gradually been extended.

The Regional APIs will soon be stable. However, before we can release them as stable, we need to make a last change to the URL structure.

During Trainhack on 25-27 October, Savea launched an open sales API for operators using the company’s booking platform. This API will no longer be available on Trafiklab, as Savea has decided to make it an internal API.

During Trainhack on 25-27 October, Savea launched an open sales API for operators using the company’s booking platform. Savea provides a booking platform and currently has mainly express bus companies as customers.
