Entur open APIs (Norway public transport)

Entur open APIs (Norway public transport)

Entur's open services cover Norwegian public transport: journey planning and departure boards, a geocoder for stops, addresses and points of interest, and daily NeTEx and GTFS timetable and stop-place dumps. The access page says: "Data provided by Entur AS from API or published data files can be used under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD)."

Coverage

Journey Planner v3, a Transmodel-based GraphQL API built on OpenTripPlanner, which the docs describe as providing "departure boards for individual stops, and point-to-point journey planning for all public transport in Norway, including real-time information, regardless of transport mode, or operator"; a geocoder for stops, addresses and points of interest (v1/v2 marked "deprecated as of 12.06.2026", v3 current); and timetable and stop-place file dumps that the provider says "are updated daily" — "All data dumps have permanent URL's and come as NeTEx or GTFS datasets." Entur says it collects "data from 60 public transportation operators". Partner and ticketing APIs need a signed agreement with Entur and are outside this entry.

Verdict

Norwegian public transport data — journey planning, departure boards, geocoding and daily NeTEx/GTFS dumps — under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data: "You are allowed to copy and make available, change and/or merge with other datasets, and to use them for commercial purposes." Attribution is required: "Entur should be credited as the source with the text: Data made available by Entur + (logo)". No API key, but an identifying header is required: "Most APIs are open under Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD), however, it is required that all consumers identify themselves by using the header ET-Client-Name." and "Entur will deploy strict rate-limiting policies on API-consumers who do not identify with a header and reserves the right to block unidentified consumers." The numeric request rate is Not stated; for the file dumps the provider says "Excessive downloading of files may lead to your IP being blocked. We expect that most users will have no need for more than one download per 24 hours." WARNING: this developer portal says it is being retired — "Entur's developer portal has moved to developer.entur.no." — so these documentation URLs may move. Signal Lab links only.
