Starting 1.10.2019 APIs provided by the old public transport information system will be retired and no longer supported. Therefore multiple APIs will no longer accept API traffic.

This update affects all users of Tampere HTTP GET API, SIRI API and Kalkati.net XML database dump. City of Tampere is updating its public transport information system. Old developer portal will be replaced by a new portal which is still under development. Some of the old APIs are retired and replaced with new versions. Compatibility with older APIs is mostly maintained but some API features are different.

How:

• If you are still using Tampere HTTP GET API (http://api.publictransport.tampere.fi/prod/) you should migrate to Digitransit APIs for similar features.
• If you are using the old SIRI API (https://siri.ij2010.tampere.fi/ws) you should migrate to ITS Factory SIRI API or upcoming Waltti SIRI API (beta)
• Rest of the ITS Factory APIs (e.g. Journeys API) are already updated to the new backend. While the API itself hasn’t changed the backend update has caused some differences in the provided data e.g. differently formatted VehicleRef ID:s.
