Connect Building Product Data Directly to Your Systems

What Does the Product Information API Offer?

The Product Information API provides direct access to the national Product Information database, Finland’s most comprehensive database of construction products.

Through an easy-to-use REST API, product information is available in a structured format for use in various systems, including retail platforms, software services, and construction companies’ procurement systems.

The API can also be utilized in Building Information Models (BIM), enabling product information to be displayed directly within digital building models.
