SVERIGEFAKTA's own material

SVERIGEFAKTA's own texts, graphics, charts, visualisations, illustrations, database compilations, processed data, reports, code and other protected works may not be copied, republished, distributed, adapted or used commercially beyond what applicable law permits, without written permission from SVERIGEFAKTA.

This applies to material protected by law. We make no claim of exclusive rights over anything that cannot be subject to such rights under the law, for example individual facts.

Material has previously been published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Licences already granted under those terms continue to apply to the material they covered. The policy described here governs SVERIGEFAKTA's continued provision of its own material.

External and official sources

SVERIGEFAKTA compiles and presents information from many external and official sources, including Statistics Sweden, Brå, the Swedish Migration Agency, Kolada, the Swedish National Agency for Education, the OECD and Eurostat. Rights in such source material are not affected by SVERIGEFAKTA's rights policy.

We claim no exclusive rights over official statistics or other third-party material merely because it is displayed on SVERIGEFAKTA. Every page links to its original sources so you can check the terms that apply there.

See /kallor for the full list of sources.

When should you cite SVERIGEFAKTA — and when the primary source?

• Cite the primary source when you refer to raw figures from Statistics Sweden, Brå, the Swedish Migration Agency, NIER, ESO, the OECD and so on. SVERIGEFAKTA is then only where you found them.
• Cite SVERIGEFAKTA when you use our own calculations, visualisations, compilations, comparisons or choice of definitions.
• Cite both when you want maximum transparency — which is what we recommend.

Embed a data point (oEmbed)

Every verified data point (/data/SF.METRIC.KOMMUNKOD.ÅR) can be embedded as a read-only box with source and a link back. Paste the data point's link into a CMS that supports oEmbed, or fetch the code directly:

GET https://sverigefakta.com/api/public/oembed?format=json&url=https://sverigefakta.com/data/SF.METRIC.KOMMUNKOD.AR

The response is an oEmbed 1.0 payload of type rich with ready-made iframe code. Time series are also supported (/embed/chart?geo=…&metric=…) and maxwidth/maxheight. Embeds require the source to be credited and the link back to SVERIGEFAKTA to be retained.
