OpenVan vs Transport for Norway

OpenVan

OpenVan.camp publishes a curated read-only OpenAPI schema for vanlife/RV travel planning: fuel prices by country, currency rates, a VanBasket food-cost index, VanSky weather-suitability scores, plus vanlife news stories and events. No authentication is required and the schema is discoverable at the site's `.well-known/openapi.json`; requests are capped at 120/minute per IP and the data is CC BY 4.0 licensed.

Transport for Norway

Entur is Norway's national registry for public transport data. It combines schedules and real-time updates from more than 60 operators, with 21,000 departures a day. It offers a GraphQL Journey Planner at https://api.entur.io/journey-planner/v3/graphql, a REST geocoder (v3) for address and place lookups, SIRI real-time feeds, and NeTEx static feeds. Access is free and keyless for read use. Entur asks each consumer to add an ET-Client-Name header, and it may rate-limit traffic that doesn't. The old developer.entur.org portal still publishes API changes, but Entur will retire it once its content moves to developer.entur.no.
