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.
- Active enheter in the Enhetsregister whose business address matched an address point (about 84 % of them; c/o and post-box addresses do not). Counted by NACE division at the registered address, which for a chain is the shop and for a holding company an office; employees are the registered headcount. Nearest grocery is NACE 47.11, pharmacy 47.73, eatery 56.10/56.30, gym 93.13, within 5 km, straight-line.
Fields
22 of 28 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
