“Tablåtjänsten” is an API which provides schedules for SVT’s channels for a given date range and also all active VODs on svtplay.se
The schedule data is returned in the TVAnytime format (version 1.11.1) which is standardized by the Nordig organisation - where SVT
is one of the members.
For more information about Nordig, please visit https://nordig.org.
We support both JSON and XML
as response format.
Typical content may be:
It’s possible to choose the date range. A typical date range can be from today up to four weeks ahead. Only the definitive days (published by SVT) can be returned. See section 'Schedule Visibility' for details.
Changes that are made in the schedule are usually reflected within a few seconds in “Tablåtjänsten”. Active Play content is refreshed within minutes. That way, the information is always valid and up to date.
Information about accessibility can be found under "captionLanguage" and "signLanguage". "captionLanguage.supplemental" indicates visual description. "signLanguage" indicates sign language for the content. Attribute "primary" distinguish if the content is produced specifically for the hearing impaired or not.
For the regional broadcast e.g. the local news ("Lokala nyheter"), there will be secondary titles for all regions. See Reference below for a list of regions.
There are two types of grouping: "season" and "otherCollection". A season has unique non-zero season number for the same "memberOf/crid" (i.e series hash) in "groupingInformation". Otherwise, it is labeled as otherCollection and can then have any season number.
For all linear channels a schedule day starts at 06:00:00 and ends the next day at 05:59:59.
For channel PLAY a schedule day starts at 00:00:00 and ends at 23:59:59.
All times are in CET.
SVT catch up rights is available for some programs, these right-periods can be found under "programDescription/programLocationTable/onDemandService". See example below.
All currently active Play content is available under "programDescription/programLocationTable/onDemandService". See example below.
For the active play content there is now a 'brief' and an 'extended' synopsis at the group information level.
The 'brief' and the 'extended' synopsis are the program descriptions that is used on svtplay.se at the title page i.e. the series information.
The 'short' and 'long' synopsis are still included at the group level but is mostly used for seasonal broadcast presentations.
For the linear channels and the upcoming play content only the 'short' and 'long' synopsis is available on the group information level to describe the season.
Publicly available schedules is defined by SVT. The 'visibleTo' parameter per channel defines to which date schedules can be retrieved.
https://api.svt.se/tablatjansten/schedule-visibility-dates
'programLocationTable.schedule' contains public visible programs.
'segmentList' contains non public visible programs.
For most cases only 'schedule' is enough to use.
