DAWA shuts down July 1, 2026·We're ready

Danish address API for autocomplete, validation and geocoding.

One REST API for 2.7 million Danish addresses. Autocomplete, address validation, lookup and forward/reverse geocoding — all drop-in compatible with DAWA, which shuts down 1 July 2026.

What the address API does

Everything you need for Danish addresses.

Four building blocks — autocomplete, validation, lookup and geocoding — in one consistent JSON API. Add BBR buildings or DAGI districts to any call with a single parameter.

Address autocomplete

Type-ahead search that returns ranked address suggestions as the user types. Fuzzy matching tolerates typos, missing house numbers and abbreviations. p99 under 50ms.

  • Fuzzy match
  • Type-ahead
  • < 50ms

Address validation

Verify that an address exists and is deliverable before you store it. Returns a canonical, corrected address with UUID and coordinates.

  • Canonical form
  • Deliverable check

Address lookup

Look up any access or unit address by UUID, or search by street name, house number and postal code. Same response shape as DAWA.

  • UUID
  • Structured search

Geocoding

Address to coordinates (forward) and coordinates to nearest address (reverse) in WGS84 and ETRS89/UTM32N (EPSG:25832).

  • Forward
  • Reverse

+ BBR buildings

Add ?include=bbr to enrich any address with 35+ building and dwelling fields — area, year built, heating, usage.

  • ?include=bbr

+ DAGI districts

Add ?include=dagi to get municipality, parish, region, police and court districts for any address in the same call.

  • ?include=dagi

One API that grows with you. From first prototype to millions of lookups.

DAWA migration

Change one line. Everything else works.

We're 100% drop-in compatible with DAWA. Same paths, same query parameters, same JSON shape. Switch the base URL to /dawa and add your API key — the rest of your integration is unchanged.

Before
·DAWA
// Your existing DAWA code
const r = await fetch(
  'https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/adgangsadresser?q=' + q,
);
const addresses = await r.json();
After
·DanskAdresseAPI
URL + API key
// Switch base URL to /dawa + add your key
const r = await fetch(
  'https://api.danskadresseapi.dk/dawa/adgangsadresser?q=' + q,
  { headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_KEY' } },
);
const addresses = await r.json();

Validate customer addresses at sign-up and enrich them with municipality and building data automatically.

SaaS, fintech
