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.

  • Cases from ingested municipal archives only (currently Oslo and Bergen), a fraction of national case volume; absence of cases proves nothing. Matching is on cadastral gnr/bnr; feste and section numbers are not matched.
  • No applicant, tiltakshaver, ansvarlig søker or other person is served, and no case title or free-text address: case_type (the procedural step) and measure_type (what is built or changed) are a fixed vocabulary read from the title, the same as building_cases_nearby, and can be wrong or other. Status and type reflect the municipal portal at import time; verify the current case via source_url.

Fields

7 of 15 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.
