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

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 | |
|---|---|---|
| For | New integrations | Migrating from DAWA |
| Shape | Modern REST, one error format | 1:1 with the official DAWA |
| Pick it if | You are starting from scratch | You have code that already calls 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:
https://api.danskadresseapi.dkWhat 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.
