What this does not say

Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.

  • Modelled for the grunnkrets, not measured at the house: a busy road or a wood stove next door can make the air at the facade worse than the area average. AQI follows MET's scale: under 2 low, 2-3 moderate, 3-4 high, 4 and over very high.
  • Data from MET Norway and NILU, CC BY 4.0; Approach selects fields and computes daily maxima.

Fields

3 of 12 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps.

Why it cannot be tried here

This section is not part of the public demo projection. That is a licensing and privacy decision, not a sign the data is missing: it is served to customers granted the section.
