The goal of helsinki package is to provide tools in R to access and download open data from City of Helsinki and the Helsinki metropolitan area - the Finnish capital region.

You can install the released version of helsinki from CRAN with:

install.packages("helsinki")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes)
library(remotes)
remotes::install_github("ropengov/helsinki")

Loading the package:

library(helsinki)

List available features from Helsinki Region Environmental Services HSY WFS API and then download the 15th feature from that list:

url <- "https://kartta.hsy.fi/geoserver/wfs"
hsy_features <- get_feature_list(base.url = url)
get_feature(base.url = url, typename = hsy_features$Name[15])
