Skånetrafiken API shutting down, ResRobot affected

February 20, 2021

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. The scheduled (static) data will still be present, and ResRobot Stolptidtabeller will continue working.

How does this affect you?

This will not affect the working of your applications, as the API response-structure remains unchanged. Departures operated by Skånetrafiken will no longer include realtime data. Train departures will continue having realtime data as this data is provided by Trafikverket.

When will this change take effect?

This data will no longer be available starting March 31st.

What are the alternatives?

We offer realtime data of much higher quality through the GTFS Regional Realtime dataset. This dataset includes realtime delays and GPS positions for Skånetrafiken. You might need to use additional software, such as OpenTripPlanner, to access this realtime data through an API. We even offer some examples such as a GTFS Timetable API which includes realtime and vehicle position data. You can run these examples instantly using our GTFS and GTFS-RT feeds.
