Transport for Finland API
Overview
Digitransit is Finland's national open public transport platform, offering a GraphQL API for routing, stop information, and real-time data across Finnish cities. No API key is required, and the GraphQL interface lets you request exactly the data you need. It is a great modern API for learning GraphQL while working with real transit data.
Beginner Tip
This API uses GraphQL instead of REST — you send POST requests with a query body to the endpoint. Use the GraphQL playground at api.digitransit.fi/graphiql to explore and test queries interactively before writing code.
