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.
Data format
The data is formatted as JSON or XML, depending on the format query parameter.
How often is this data updated?
The static data used for this API is updated when changes are made, at most once per day.
Which operators are covered by this dataset?
All operators which operate in Sweden are covered by the ResRobot APIs.
How often does the data format changes? Do breaking changes happen?
This API has the stable status. When breaking changes are made, you will get six months or more to update your implementations. Examples of breaking changes are the changes to existing fields or query parameters, or in case new query parameters are required to keep the results the same. The addition of new fields isn’t considered a breaking change, and can happen without warning.
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.
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”.
