Municipalities

Kolada API

Kolada is one of the most useful sources for comparing Swedish municipalities and regions. Apiverket helps developers find and use the indicators faster.

Search KPI names, fetch values for a municipality and combine municipal indicators with SCB, weather or traffic data.

What can you fetch?

  • Municipal KPIs
  • KPI groups
  • Municipality-level values
  • Regional comparison signals

What can you build?

  • Municipality comparison tools
  • Local performance dashboards
  • Regional reports
  • Civic tech prototypes

Common problems with the original source

  • You need to know which KPI code to use.
  • Indicator discovery can be the slowest first step.
  • KPI data often needs context from other public sources.

How Apiverket makes it easier

  • Search KPIs before fetching values.
  • Use the same API key as the rest of Apiverket.
  • Combine municipal indicators with statistics, company and environment endpoints.
