What this does not say

Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.

Departures observed in Entur's national real-time feed (SIRI-ET, every monitored journey) over the stated window (window_from to window_to), rolled up from platform to stop and aggregated per stop at refresh time. Only journeys an operator reports in real time are counted, so a stop served solely by unmonitored departures reads low or absent; not a complete timetable or a service guarantee.
Limited to stops within 3 km: an address with no observed stop that close gets no record, not a stop from another town. transit_stops carries the full national stop register for positions. Straight-line UTM33 distance, not walking distance.
Routes follow the car profile, from the address to the feature; ranking remains straight-line. Static modelled travel time excludes live traffic and emergency response. Road snapping is limited to 250 m at each end. Ferries may be included without timetable/wait guarantees. Graph source date is unverified unless supplied. © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
walk_route and cycle_route follow OSRM's foot and bicycle profiles on the same OpenStreetMap data: paths and stairs allowed on foot, road rules for bicycles; modelled times at profile default speeds, not measured.

Fields

4 of 16 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
