What is this?
Official public data by the Finnish Parliament is made available at https://avoindata.eduskunta.fi.
In order to use it you need to download each tables content individually 100 rows at a time.
To make it easier to explore and utilise this data, this repository makes it possible to just download the entire dataset as a single sqlite database. You can find the download links above under Downloads.
The database is updated daily (via the daily_update.yml GitHub workflow).
Or if you want, you can copy the self-contained bin_download_data.py script and use it yourself to download the data.
About the tables
The script replicates the tables as they are. Some notes about the result:
- All columns are strings, except the primary key which is an integer
- Some columns contain massive XML blobs (e.g. XmlData-column in VaskiData-table)
- The script adds an additional metadata-table, which contains information like the data source and license
Inspecting the data
Use a tool like DB Browser for SQLite to inspect the data.
Running the script locally
