The service gives access to the geographical divisions county, municipality, district and land registry civil parishes. The product name in Swedish is Geografisk indelning Direkt.
About this product
The service is free to use. Certain authorisation is required for access to detailed geometry.
Maintenance and update frequency
Updates to the county and municipal division are made continuously when the Digital Register Map is updated. Updating takes place when a decision is made to change the position of the boundary or if geometries change without the position of the boundary is changing.
Updates without changing the position of the boundary are most common. An example of such a change is dividing of a property that has a border with another municipality, the geometry is split but the position of the geometry of the municipal boundary does not change.
The land register parish is a historical division and is only updated if there are errors. Districts are only updated if changes in the division are decided.

Technical framework and standard for direct access services
Our direct access services are primarily based on standards from the World Wide Webb Consortium (3WC) och The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).

The service interfaces are REST based where object types are in many cases built using GML (Geography Markup Language) or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) to describe its geographical properties.
The services are of the nature 'question-answer' where the consumer (user's system) sends a service call with search terms or selection parameters over the Internet and receives a list with one or more geographical objects in response.
To quickly get started and test the services before they are integrated into a separate system, a tool such as Postman can be used as a tool for testing REST-based Webservices.
