A DAWA replacement for Danish addresses
DAWA (Danmarks Adressers Web API) is being retired. Soge gives you a DAWA-compatible address API — autocomplete and address lookup — with the same JSON shape, hosted in Denmark, and a free tier to migrate today.
Why migrate now
Thousands of Danish apps, CRMs and webshops rely on DAWA for address autocomplete and validation. When it shuts down, those integrations break. Soge is a drop-in-friendly alternative you can switch to before the deadline — no downtime, no data loss.
DAWA-compatible
Same JSON fields for autocomplete and addresses — change the URL, keep your code.
Danish data, in Denmark
Official address data, served from Denmark. GDPR-friendly, low latency.
Free to start
Generous free tier. Scale up only when you need to — transparent pricing, no hidden billing.
Migrate in minutes
Swap the endpoint and add your API key. The response format mirrors DAWA.
fetch( "https://api.dataforsyningen.dk" + "/autocomplete?q=Rådhuspladsen" )
fetch(
"https://soge.dk/api/v1/adresser"
+ "/autocomplete?q=Rådhuspladsen",
{ headers: { "X-API-KEY": "your-key" } }
)
Endpoint mapping
| DAWA endpoint | Soge endpoint | |
|---|---|---|
| api.dataforsyningen.dk/autocomplete?q=… | soge.dk/api/v1/adresser/autocomplete?q=… | Samme JSON-format |
| api.dataforsyningen.dk/adresser/{id} | soge.dk/api/v1/adresser/{id} | Fuld adressedetalje |
| api.dataforsyningen.dk/adgangsadresser/{id} | soge.dk/api/v1/adresser/{id} | Adgangsadresse → Soge id |
Tilføj headeren X-API-KEY: <din-nøgle> til alle requests.

Frequently asked questions
When is DAWA shutting down?
DAWA (Danmarks Adressers Web API) shuts down on August 17, 2026. After that date every call to api.dataforsyningen.dk will fail. Migrate to Soge before the deadline so your address features keep working without interruption.
Is Soge compatible with DAWA?
Yes. Our autocomplete and address-lookup responses use the same field names as DAWA, so most integrations only need a URL change and an API key header. The response shape for /autocomplete and /adresser/{id} mirrors DAWA exactly.
What does it cost?
There is a free tier to get started and test your migration. Paid plans add higher rate limits — see pricing.
Which DAWA endpoints does Soge replace?
Soge covers the two most used DAWA endpoints: /autocomplete (address suggestions as you type) and /adresser/{id} (full address detail by DAWA ID). These handle 95%+ of typical DAWA traffic.
Do I need to change my JSON parser?
No. The key fields your code likely reads — tekst, adgangsadresse, vejnavn, husnr, postnr, postnrnavn, kommune — are all present in the Soge response. Add the X-API-KEY header and change the base URL. No parser rewrite needed.
What if I use DAWA for more than addresses?
Soge also provides company lookup (CVR), vehicle data (DMR) and phone lookup — all in one API. If you need broader Danish geodata beyond addresses, check the API docs for available endpoints.
