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.

  • NVDB objects imported by object type; distance is straight-line metres from the address point to the object's geometry (a line or area is met where it passes closest). Coverage is the object types and areas the pipeline has fetched.
  • Byggegrense mot veg under vegloven §29 applies along public roads; a nearby line is a planning constraint to verify with the road authority, not a measurement of this plot.

Fields

2 of 8 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.

This is a real call against the public demo, from here. What appears below is what the API returned — not a sample.
