Entur open APIs (Norway public transport)

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.

// Terms and limits

Access
none (ET-Client-Name header required)
Free tier
Free, no API key, but every consumer must identify itself: "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." The timetable and stop-place dumps are keyless files with permanent URLs, updated daily.
Rate limits
Not stated as a number. "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." For the file dumps: "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."

Licence note
The setup-and-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)." and "You are allowed to copy and make available, change and/or merge with other datasets, and to use them for commercial purposes." It also asks that "Entur assumes no liability for consequences of errors in the data or API-systems." and that "The data should not be presented in a distorted or misrepresentative way". Partner and ticketing APIs are a separate, agreement-based product and are not covered here. WARNING: the portal states "Entur's developer portal has moved to developer.entur.no." and that the old version will be retired, so these documentation URLs may move.
Attribution
Required: "Entur should be credited as the source with the text: Data made available by Entur + (logo)".
