What does this API provide?

ResRobot nearby stops provides information about stops, including their ids and position, by searching for a certain pair of coordinates.

Instead of using the station lookup endpoint, you can also use the stops.txt file from GTFS Sverige 2. This way you can provide autocomplete and other search functions without internet access. It will make your application more responsive and more reliable as you don’t have to wait for API responses. See Combining data and APIs for more information.

Be aware that the current position of for example a smartphone user is personal data. We do not save this data, but it might be stored for a short time in for example log files. You should probably inform your users and ask for permission before sending their position to 3rd parties.

Using ResRobot Nearby stops

ResRobot Nearby stops takes the search string and the wanted number of results as parameters, and returns a list of matching stations with their location, name and id. Users can choose between exact matching and approximate matching by adding a question mark to the end of the search string.

Only the most important parameters and response variables are described on this page. Looking for more technical details? These can be found in the OpenAPI specification.

New version available

A new version of ResRobot is available. Existing apps should migrate to the new version, and it is no longer possible to build new apps on version 2.0.

Example calls

Exact search

Exact search returns only stations that match exactly with the search string.

All-caps stations, like GÖTEBORG in the example above, are virtual stations. These are a group of stations, for example to group stops which are close to eachother or to group several stops serving the same area. This is especially useful for people who are not familiar with the environment. Instead of having to choose between several stops which they don’t know, they can simply search for trips to “Göteborg”.
