Umea Data

What This Skill Does

The Umeå Data skill is a powerful gateway for the OpenClaw AI agent to interface with the Umeå Municipality Open Data API. It allows the agent to fetch real-time information regarding municipal infrastructure, recreation, urban planning, and demographic trends. By providing structured access to datasets such as public playgrounds, EV charging stations, building permit statuses, and population statistics, this skill turns the agent into a local expert on Umeå. It leverages the official API base URL (https://opendata.umea.se/api/v2/) to ensure the data is accurate, reliable, and up-to-date.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal or command interface: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/simskii/umea-data. This will fetch the necessary integration manifests and configure the connection to the municipal data services.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile and serves several distinct user personas. For residents, it acts as a digital city guide, finding the nearest swimming spot or public WiFi hotspot. For local developers or planners, it provides critical insights into building permits and housing stock statistics. Environmentally conscious users can utilize it to locate public EV charging points, while researchers can query historical population and demographic changes to perform long-term trend analysis.

Example Prompts

1. "Vilka badplatser finns i Umeå som är anpassade för personer med funktionsnedsättning?"
2. "Kan du lista alla beviljade bygglov i mitt område från den senaste månaden?"
3. "Finns det några laddplatser för elbilar nära centrum med lediga uttag just nu?"

Tips & Limitations

When querying this data, specify the dataset ID or category clearly if the agent seems confused. Note that the API is strictly read-only; you cannot submit building permits or update information through this skill—it is strictly for information retrieval. Additionally, some geographical queries may require specific coordinate input if the municipality's naming convention for areas is ambiguous. Always check the API status on the Umeå Municipality portal if you suspect the data is not reflecting recent physical changes in the city.
