SBB Swiss Mobility API

The SBB Swiss Mobility API is a data interface that enables partners to sell tickets through their own distribution applications. SBB provides the data. The partners themselves develop the distribution application, or an integration into the partner’s front-end application is effected.

The SBB Swiss Mobility API can be used in two forms:

  • Affiliate
    The partner receives timetable and pricing information via the SBB Swiss Mobility API, displays the offers in their own application and links to the SBB WebShop for booking (B2C).
  • Booking
    The partner receives timetable and pricing information via the SBB Swiss Mobility API, displays offers in their own application and also executes encashment and fulfilment.
