Product list for geodata products.
Description of product types
There are three product types for Lantmäteriet's geodata products: direct access, download and view service. The product types work in different ways.
Direct access
The direct access products provide access to updated information in real time via calls directly to the Lantmäteriet. They have a programming interface (API) and require a system that is adapted to the API. The products cannot be used directly in a browser.
The products have two types of queries: find and retrieve.
- Find – You ask with different search criteria such as geometry or free text. In response, you receive references to the objects affected by the search criteria. You can then use references (object identities) to retrieve information about the object.
- Retreve – You ask with object identity. In response, you will receive information about items within the selection you have requested. In some cases, references to other objects are also included in the response.
Download
The Download Products provide access to information that you order, download and store with you. How you order and download the information differs between different download products.
View service
The view service products provide access to information in the form of maps and images. You can view the content but not process or change it. They have a programming interface (API) and require a system that is adapted to the API. The products cannot be used directly in a browser.
You can combine the view service products with, for example, direct access products. In this way, for example, you can search for addresses, place names and real properties and then display the information on the map.
