Introduction

What you can build with DanskAdresseAPI — and which of the two surfaces to choose.

A call to DanskAdresseAPI and the address data it returns

DanskAdresseAPI gives you every Danish address with autocomplete, validation, geocoding and lookups in BBR, the cadastre and DAGI areas.

Two surfaces, one dataset

There are two ways to call the API. They reach the same data.

/v1/dawa

Migrating an existing integration? Start with [Change the base URL](?fane=dawa&v=v1&side=skift-base-url) — it takes under a minute. Building something new? Use /v1. Unsure? Read [v1 or /dawa?](?fane=dawa&v=v1&side=v1-eller-dawa).

Base URL

Every call goes to:

Bash
https://api.danskadresseapi.dk

What a call costs

One HTTP call counts as one lookup — except the batch endpoints, where up to 100 inputs count as one lookup. See [Rate limits](?fane=dawa&v=v1&side=rate-limits) for the limits on your plan.

DAWA shuts down on 1 October 2026.

The /dawa surface stays and is 1:1 with the official one. Change your base URL now
and your integration keeps working with no other changes.
