Why switch

Reasons to pick a DAWA alternative.

DAWA was free and minimal. We give you the same data — verified 100% drop-in across all 35 endpoints — plus everything a production SaaS needs.

DAWA shuts down 1 July 2026

DAWA has been announced for shutdown. Every system relying on it needs to migrate — picking a drop-in DAWA alternative now removes the risk.

100% drop-in verified

A zero-tolerance end-to-end test runs against the production DAWA continuously and confirms identical JSON, error bodies, KVH/KVHX 12/19-char IDs and DAR→DAWA status enums across all 35 endpoints.

  • Same paths
  • Same params
  • Same JSON shape
  • Same error codes

Reference data — 14 endpoints

Look up vejstykker, navngivneveje, supplerende bynavne, jordstykker, ejerlav, bebyggelser and stormodtagere — list + detail endpoints, exactly like DAWA.

  • Jordstykker & ejerlav
  • Bebyggelser
  • Stormodtagere
  • List + detail

Replication stream

10 /dawa/replikering/* event-stream endpoints let you sync a local Postgres mirror in real time. Cursor-based, topologically ordered, with diff snapshots — enterprise-grade ETL.

  • Event stream
  • Cursor by eventid
  • Local DB mirror

Spatial queries

polygon=JSON, cirkel=lon,lat,radius_m, srid=25832 — the spatial parameters DAWA users rely on are all there. Often the hardest blocker in DAWA migrations.

  • polygon
  • cirkel
  • srid=25832

SaaS features DAWA lacks

Webhooks on address changes, bulk batch uploads, scoped API keys, dashboard with usage stats, invoicing with VAT — none of this exists in DAWA.

  • Webhooks
  • Batch
  • Dashboard
  • Stripe billing

Same data, same format

We pull addresses directly from the official register every 15 minutes. Response shape is identical to DAWA — migration takes minutes.

  • Identical JSON
  • 15-min sync

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();
Same paths

DAWA-compatible
What you get

Everything DAWA had — plus everything it didn't.

A full DAWA-compatible surface (35 endpoints, reference data, replication stream, spatial queries) layered with the SaaS features that production systems need.

Drop-in DAWA paths

All 35 /dawa/* paths verified identical to prod-DAWA. Same params, same JSON shape, same error bodies, same KVH/KVHX IDs.

Existing DAWA users

Reference catalogues

jordstykker, ejerlav, bebyggelser, stormodtagere, vejstykker, navngivneveje, supplerende bynavne — list + detail.

Cadastral, GIS, planning

Replication event-stream

10 /replikering/* endpoints. Cursor-based event log, topological ordering, diff snapshots — sync a local Postgres mirror.

Enterprise ETL

Spatial queries

polygon=JSON, cirkel=lon,lat,radius_m, ?srid=25832 — DAWA-identical spatial filtering on every list endpoint.

GIS, route planning

Autocomplete

p99 under 50ms globally. Typesense + Redis on top of indexed Postgres. Faster than DAWA ever was.

Frontend developers

Geocoding & reverse

GPS to address and back — adaptive bbox finds the N nearest in under 10ms.

Mobile, location apps

Address validation at checkout

"Did you mean..." suggestions when customers mistype. Score-based confidence ranking.

E-commerce, invoicing

Batch uploads (1k-1M rows)

Up to 100 addresses per HTTP call, counts as one in your usage. 100× cheaper than individual calls.

ETL, CRM cleanup

Real-time webhooks

HMAC-signed push events when addresses change. Retry with backoff. No polling.

Address subscriptions

Origin allowlist on pub keys

Browser-safe public keys that only work from your own domains. No backend proxy needed.

SPA, mobile apps

ETag + If-None-Match

Detail endpoints return ETag so polling clients can skip unchanged payloads — saves bandwidth at scale.

Polling integrations

Stripe billing + DKK invoices

Subscription management with VAT-compliant invoices generated automatically.
