The Service Map developed by the City of Helsinki shows the locations and services offered by the cities of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, as well as Vantaa and Kerava and Western Uusimaa Wellbeing areas. The map also includes public transport stops and many services provided by private operators.
You can search the map for schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, health centres, car parks, recycling points, restaurants, flea markets and much more!
A special feature of the service map is the accessibility information for the locations. The aim of the Service Map is to guide all city residents to find up-to-date information about the services offered by the city and their accessibility.
The data is available in REST/JSON, WFS and XML format.
In addition, data can be downloaded via the WFS spatial API of the Service Map in KML and JSON formats (see tool icon in the lower right corner). The WFS API can be read with geographic information systems.
The APIs can be used to query about, for example, the following:
- Organisations that arrange and produce services
- Limit data by municipality (area)
- Locations where services are provided (e.g. Rikhardinkatu library)
- Services provided at different locations
- Service classification
- Accessibility parameters
- Accessibility information of the location structurally
- Accessible public transport route to accessible location
- All services in the area or at a certain distance from an feature, e.g. a train station
