Services
The built environment information system (Ryhti) provides services for both data providers and data users.
Open services
The open services are intended for those interested in utilizing data from the Ryhti system. The services are free of charge.
Ryhti Map Service
Through the web-based map service, anyone can view open building and planning data. The map service also allows users to examine valid plans that have been transfered into the system.
Viewing more detailed building information requires logging in to the service.
Land use data API
Currently, valid local detailed plans and master plans for the South and North Savo regions are available through APIs.
At a later stage, the APIs will provide access to data model-based plans, plot divisions, land-use restrictions, and valid plans that have been transfered into the system in accordance with the VOOKA implementation.

Building data API
Through the interface service, open building data from all over Finland can be utilized.
It is recommended to use timestamps in your requests to fetch only the data that has been updated since your last query. This helps keep the volume of retrieved data to a minimum.

Metadata description
You can review the open data content in the metadata description. The data content of the open API is available in the PDF file attached to the metadata description.
INSPIRE products for buildings and addresses
Data products compliant with the INSPIRE directive regulations, containing open data on buildings and addresses.

Data packages for completed buildings and their addresses
The data packages contain open data content for completed buildings as well as their addresses. These data packages are ideal when you need data covering the whole of Finland but do not require information that updates daily via APIs.
The data is available in CSV and JSON formats. The files are compressed in .gz format, which can be opened using standard tools included in the Windows operating system.
The data packages are updated once a week on Sundays.

Metadata description
You can explore the content of the data packages by downloading them or by reviewing the metadata description. In the PDF attachment of the metadata description, please refer to the sections “Open data content of the completed buildings interface” and “Addresses of completed buildings”.
Implementation still in progress
INSPIRE products for plans
Data products compliant with the INSPIRE directive regulations, containing open planning data.
Contract services
Contract-based API with detailed building information
Businesses and other operators can access more detailed, i.e., public building data via a geospatial data interface (API).
This is an API service that requires a contract and logging in, providing a broader range of data content than the open interfaces.
You can find the broader data content in the sections of the metadata description that cover public information. A test service is also available.
Prices
A fee in accordance with the Finnish Environment Institute’s (Syke) price list is charged for the use of the contract-based interface.
The prices indicated are net of tax (VAT 0%), but the services are subject to the standard value-added tax rate.
Setup fee: €258 / unit
Interface fee: €187.09 / month
The customer will be invoiced for the use of the service retrospectively. Invoicing is carried out twice a year.
How to start using the service
The customer support for the Built Environment Information System (Ryhti) assists with the deployment of the service. Please contact us at ryhti@syke.fi.
