About DanskAdresseAPI

DanskAdresseAPI gives you all of Denmark's address, building and cadastral data through one fast REST API that speaks the same language as DAWA. Change the base URL, add a key — your existing integration keeps running, even after DAWA shuts down on 1 July 2026.

Why I built DanskAdresseAPI

I've built software for Danish companies for a number of years, and almost every project touched DAWA at some point: the address field in a checkout, validation in a CRM, a map in an internal app. DAWA was free, fast and simply always there.

Then came the announcement that DAWA shuts down permanently on 1 July 2026, with no direct 1:1 product to take over. I was left with the exact same thought as thousands of other developers: what do we do with all the integrations that rely on it — without rebuilding them from scratch?

I built DanskAdresseAPI as the answer to that — first for my own projects. Same endpoints, same response format, same official data source. You point your code somewhere new and add an API key; you don't touch the rest. That's the whole idea: a migration that takes minutes, not months.

What the API covers

  • 2.7M Danish addresses with autocomplete, validation and lookup
  • Forward and reverse geocoding in WGS84 and ETRS89/UTM32N
  • BBR buildings and dwellings with 35+ fields
  • DAGI — municipalities, parishes, regions, court and police districts
  • The cadastre — ~2.4M land parcels and ~9,000 ejerlav
  • Drop-in DAWA replacement across all reference endpoints

Our data sources

All data comes from Denmark's official registries — not from scraping or third parties. We mirror them locally and sync continuously, so you get current data without integrating against the Datafordeler yourself.

Addresses, street names, postal codes
SDFI / Klimadatastyrelsen via the Datafordeler and Dataforsyningen (the Danish Address Register, DAR).
BBR — buildings and dwellings
Vurderingsstyrelsen (BBR) via the Datafordeler — building and dwelling data, updated continuously.
The cadastre — land parcels and ejerlav
SDFI / Klimadatastyrelsen via the Datafordeler — land parcels, ejerlav, settlements and bulk recipients.
DAGI — administrative divisions
Municipalities, parishes, regions, court districts and police districts via the Datafordeler.

Public geodata is freely available under CC BY 4.0. We pass it on with the same source attribution.

The company behind it

DanskAdresseAPI is run from Esbjerg. When you email support, it lands with the same people who wrote the code — not a helpdesk that has to escalate. We answer in Danish and English, usually the same day.
