This is a workspace for Journeys API which allows developers and clients to access public transport lines, routes, stops and schedules. All material on this page are draft material and subject to significant change.
Concept
Journeys API allows developers and clients to access following information via REST API
- Routes on which public transport services operate
- Lines, or in other words grouping of routes. For example Line 2, which runs from Rauhaniemi to Pyyninkintori in Tampere
- Journeys made by public transport vehicles on certain line and route at certain day and time
- Stops where public transport vehicles stop during their journeys
The API allows accessing these concepts as hierarchy of objects (see later) as well as performing searches.
API Entities
The API is built on top of NeTEx entity model (http://user47094.vs.easily.co.uk/netex/), from which the entities in this API are derived.
Route entity describes a path through (a road or a rail) network, which is used by a public transport service (such as bus or a tram).
