SNCF API Key (National Trains)

Required for the get_transit tool when routing trips outside Ile-de-France (TGV, TER, Intercites). Also works as a fallback for IDF trips if no PRIM key is configured.

Get a Key

  1. Go to numerique.sncf.com/startup/api
  2. Click S'inscrire (Sign Up) or Se connecter (Sign In)
  3. Create an account (email + password)
  4. Once logged in, go to your dashboard
  5. Find the Navitia / Calcul d'itineraires API
  6. Subscribe to the free plan
  7. Copy your API token

Alternative direct link: ressources.data.sncf.com

Pricing

  • Free: 5,000 requests/day
  • No credit card required

Configure in DroidClaw

Settings > Routing & Transit > SNCF section > paste the API key > Save

You can test with the built-in test button (Paris to Lyon route).

Coverage

National rail network across all of France:

  • TGV: high-speed trains (Paris-Lyon, Paris-Marseille, etc.)
  • TER: regional trains
  • Intercites: long-distance conventional trains
  • Transilien: suburban trains (Paris region, as fallback)

Notes

  • The SNCF API uses Navitia technology. Authentication is via the Authorization header with the token directly (not Basic Auth).
  • Coordinate format: longitude;latitude (semicolon separator, GeoJSON order)
  • The API also covers IDF transit (Metro, RER, Bus) but with less precision than the dedicated PRIM API
