The essentials about Danadresse — from the DAWA switch to tech and data. Missing your question? Write to us.
Yes. Change the base URL from dawa.aws.dk / api.dataforsyningen.dk to danadresse.dk, add an X-Api-Key header, and your existing DAWA client code keeps working — endpoints, query parameters, JSON shapes and access-address UUIDs are 1:1 compatible.
DAWA (the Danish Address Web API) shuts down permanently on 17 August 2026. After that, calls to dawa.aws.dk stop responding.
You can, but Datafordeleren is not a 1:1 DAWA replacement. It uses GraphQL/WFS and OAuth2 and often requires a business agreement. Danadresse serves the familiar DAWA REST API on top of the same data, so you don't have to rebuild your integration.
Usually under a minute: a new base URL plus an API key. The rest of your code is unchanged.
There is a free tier with 1,000 calls/day. Then Basic 99 DKK/mo (100,000 calls), Pro 299 DKK/mo (500,000 calls) and Enterprise from 599 DKK/mo with replication, SLA and on-premise.
No. The free tier works without an account (1,000 calls/day per IP), and you can create a free key without a card.
Create an account at danadresse.dk/dashboard/signup and the key is issued instantly in the dashboard.
Send your key as the HTTP header X-Api-Key: dawa_live_… or as the query parameter ?api_key=. Without a key you get the free tier.
JSON (default), GeoJSON and CSV via ?format=, exactly like DAWA. Shape is controlled with ?struktur=mini/flad/nestet.
Yes. /autocomplete is typo-tolerant and understands both Danish characters and ASCII folding (e.g. 'kobenhavn' finds 'København').
Yes. /datavask/adresser performs address cleansing (category A/B/C) and /replikering/* provides event-based synchronisation with senesteSekvensnummer.
Free: 1,000 calls/day per IP. Paid tiers have monthly quotas plus per-second burst limits. Current numbers are on the pricing page.
From Datafordeleren (DAR, BBR, cadastre, DAGI and more). We store our own copies and update daily via replication, so the service is independent of DAWA after the shutdown.
Address data is under the Danish Climate Data Agency licence (CC BY 4.0).
Yes. The Property-data hub combines BFE, property valuation, zoning/local plan, energy label and terrain for an address in a single call.
Live uptime and response times are shown at danadresse.dk/status. Enterprise plans include an SLA.
