This plugin lets users download NLS.fi open MTK data (CC-BY 4.0) using QGIS3. It utilizes the NLS Open data file updating service (Atom feed). You need to order a user-specific identification key from NLS to be able to use this plugin: http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/e-services/open-data-file-download-service/open-data-file-updating-service-interface.

The plugin is still in beta-development. Please report issues preferably to Issues or to tuki@gispo.fi.

Developed by Gispo Ltd.

This plugin utilizes data licensed by Traficom and National Land Survey of Finland. Please read data/LICENCE.txt for more information.

Before installing the plugin, make sure to install the Python requests-library. This can be done by executing the command:

pip install requests

On Windows QGIS installations, installing the requests library can be done using the OSGeo4W Shell. Open the shell as an administrator and run commands:

py3_env
pip install requests

Python-requests may be replaced by the QGIS built-in QgsFileDownloader class in a future version of the plugin.
