Migrate from DAWA in one line
Same paths, same response shape. Just change the base URL and add your X-Api-Key — the rest of your code is unchanged.
Before — DAWA
curl "https://dawa.aws.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen"
After — Danadresse
curl "https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen" \
-H "X-Api-Key: dawa_live_…"
Before — DAWA
fetch("https://dawa.aws.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen")
After — Danadresse
fetch("https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen", {
headers: { "X-Api-Key": "dawa_live_…" }
})
Before — DAWA
requests.get("https://dawa.aws.dk/autocomplete",
params={"q": "rådhuspladsen"})
After — Danadresse
requests.get("https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete",
params={"q": "rådhuspladsen"},
headers={"X-Api-Key": "dawa_live_…"})
Before — DAWA
$ctx = stream_context_create();
file_get_contents("https://dawa.aws.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen", false, $ctx);
After — Danadresse
$ctx = stream_context_create(["http" => [
"header" => "X-Api-Key: dawa_live_…"
]]);
file_get_contents("https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen", false, $ctx);
Before — DAWA
http.Get("https://dawa.aws.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen")
After — Danadresse
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET",
"https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen", nil)
req.Header.Set("X-Api-Key", "dawa_live_…")
http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
Before — DAWA
await http.GetStringAsync( "https://dawa.aws.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen");
After — Danadresse
http.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Api-Key", "dawa_live_…");
await http.GetStringAsync(
"https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhuspladsen");
Try it live
Type an address — straight from the API
This field calls the real /autocomplete endpoint right now — the same response as DAWA.
GET https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhus
# Before — DAWA (closes 17 Aug 2026) - GET https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhus # After — drop-in, same response + GET https://api.danadresse.dk/autocomplete?q=rådhus + -H 'X-Api-Key: dawa_live_…'

What is the alternative to DAWA?
You can build against Datafordeleren directly (GraphQL/WFS, months of work), pay Google Places in USD — or change a base URL and be done.
Quick answers
Is it really drop-in?
Yes. Endpoints, query params and JSON shapes match DAWA 1:1. You change the base URL and add an X-Api-Key header.
What does it cost?
Free tier with 2,000 API calls + 250 MCP calls/month. Then Basic DKK 89/mo (60,000 API calls + 5,000 MCP) and Pro DKK 279/mo (350,000 API calls + 25,000 MCP) — or −20% billed yearly. Prices ex VAT.
Do my stored address IDs still work?
Yes — we use DARs real UUIDs, so existing IDs in your database match.
