The use of marine chart data for commercial purposes or navigation purposes requires a contractual agreement process.

Key management of Spatial data services

In the key management of spatial data services you can manage the API keys of the organisation you represent. The keys are used for identification in the interfaces of Spatial data services. The use of interface services requires private individuals to register on behalf of a company. Logging in takes place by acting on behalf of the company with a Suomi.fi e-Authorization. API keys are valid for 12 months at a time, and a company may have up to 5 active API keys in use simultaneously.

The service contains offshore wind power data, the information is updated as project developers submit their data.
