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.

  • Kommune is the finest grain Nkom publishes for mobile coverage: these are shares of the kommune's households and land area, not the signal at this address. Shares are 0-1. basis is any coverage; 30 and 100 are estimated download speeds of at least 30 and 100 Mbit/s outdoors; any is 4G or 5G. Indoor coverage, operator and capacity at busy hours are not represented.
  • Nkom names kommuner, not codes; the pipeline resolves names with Nkom's own name/code pairs from the same survey and skips any it cannot match rather than guessing.

Fields

18 of 23 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.
