Data products

Alongside the tools, FastGIS publishes curated datasets you can search, filter and take offline. Each one declares its licence and attribution through the API, because several are share-alike and what you may do with the output depends on which source a feature came from.

Licence buckets

Every dataset endpoint has a sources companion — GET /mtb/sources, GET /friluft/sources — returning per-source licence metadata rather than a single blanket statement:

Field	What it tells you
bucket	A_verified for authoritative open data, C_share_alike for sources whose licence propagates
license, license_source	The licence and where to read it
attribution	The string you must display
share_alike	Whether reusing this feature obliges you to share alike
feature_count	How many features that source contributes

Check the bucket before redistributing anything you derive.

MTB trails

A European mountain-bike catalogue built from OpenStreetMap cycling and MTB data — 1,266,642 features across 30-plus countries, ODbL 1.0, attributed to OpenStreetMap contributors.

Browse the catalogue	GET /mtb/catalog
Query features in view	GET /mtb/features
One trail	GET /mtb/trail/{trail_id}
One route relation	GET /mtb/route/{rel_id}
Licence and coverage	GET /mtb/sources

These endpoints are readable without an API key.

Friluftsliv

Norwegian outdoor-recreation points — 43,048 features from four sources with genuinely different terms:

Source	Bucket	Licence	Features
Friluftslivsområder, kartlagte og verdsatte	A_verified	NLOD 2.0	8,097
Statlig sikra friluftslivsområder	A_verified	NLOD 2.0	391
Turrutebasen	A_verified	Open data, no named licence	21,102
OpenStreetMap friluft	C_share_alike	ODbL 1.0	13,458

GET /friluft/features queries them; GET /friluft/sources returns the table above with bounding boxes and endpoints. Note the third row: open, but without a named licence, which is not the same as public domain.

Beaches

Beach discovery with rider-contributed verdicts.

Beaches in a region	GET /grass/beaches/review/{region}
Default region	GET /grass/beaches/review
Read verdicts	GET /grass/beaches/review/verdicts
Add a verdict	POST /grass/beaches/review/verdicts
Export	GET /grass/beaches/review/export

The export is scoped to the caller: admins receive the full attributed report, everyone else only their own verdicts (community totals per beach come from the verdicts endpoint). The region assumed when a request omits one is set by BEACH_REVIEW_DEFAULT_REGION.

Curvy roads

Roads scored for how interesting they are to ride, by one of three algorithms — accumulated turning, turning per kilometre, or corner tightness. The rider app exposes this as Find Curvy Roads; see the rider app guide.

Search near a point	GET /grass/curvature/nearby
Score a drawn area	POST /grass/curvature/analyze
Score against the prebuilt database	POST /grass/curvature/analyze-precomputed
Road classes available	GET /grass/curvature/road-classes
Database freshness	GET /grass/curvature/db-status

Taking data offline

Offline is tile-based. Tiles are 1°×1° SQLite files, one per cell, named after the cell's south-west corner.

What the server has built	GET /grass/tiles/catalog
Curvature tile	GET /grass/tiles/curvature/{tile_id}?algorithm=total|bearing|radius
POI tile	GET /grass/tiles/poi/{tile_id}
MTB tile	GET /grass/tiles/mtb/{tile_id}

Routing goes offline separately, as regional packs: GET /grass/offline/catalog lists them and GET /grass/offline/manifest describes what a client should download. The rider app wraps all of this — see Offline data.

Imagery

GET /tiles/ortho/{z}/{x}/{y} serves orthophoto and satellite basemap tiles. Coverage is per-country and configured server-side; a cell with no coverage answers 404, which is the client's signal to fall back to another basemap.

Everything else

The API reference lists these datasets in full, with parameters and response shapes, under the mtb, friluft, beaches, curvature, tiles, offline and ortho tags of the API reference.

The sources endpoints above need no key and no subscription — licence terms should never sit behind a paywall.
