The following GET parameters are supported:

Parameter	Explanation	Available values
layer	Specifies the data layer to query.	cadastral (required) — returns data for cadastral land parcels, buildings, and premises
code	Cadastral code of a parcel, building or premise group. The object type is determined by the length of the code: 11 digits - land parcel, 14 digits - building, 17 digits - premise group.	Required if `address_code` is not provided. Example: `01000920024`
address_code	Address code (official address identifier).	Required if `code` is not provided. Example: `105747812`
cs	Specifies the coordinate system of the returned geometry.	wgs84 - data is returned in WGS84 (EPSG:4326) coordinate system (default value). lks - data is returned in TM Baltic93 (EPSG:25884) coordinate system.

Note: Exactly one of the parameters code or address_code must be provided.

Additional data

For land parcels and buildings, an additional array field named related_cadastres is included in the response.
