Migrating from DAWA to Soge before the 2026 shutdown

2026-06-20 · api

DAWA (Danmarks Adressers Web API) shuts down on 17 August 2026. After that date, calls to api.dataforsyningen.dk stop working. If your product relies on Danish address autocomplete or lookups, you need a replacement that does not force a rewrite.

Why Soge is a drop-in replacement

Soge's address endpoints return the same field names DAWA used — tekst, adgangsadresse, vejnavn, husnr, postnr, postnrnavn, kommune. Most integrations need only a base-URL change and an API-key header, not a new parser.

Three steps

  1. Get a key. Sign up and create an API key — the free tier is enough to test the whole migration.
  2. Change the base URL. Replace api.dataforsyningen.dk with soge.dk/api/v1. The /autocomplete and /adresser/{id} paths stay the same.
  3. Add the key header. Send X-API-KEY on each request. No JSON-parser changes needed.
