Placepoint APIs
Placepoint provides REST APIs for accessing Norwegian property and location data. All APIs are secured with OAuth2 and return JSON responses.
Available APIs
Customer API
Query Norwegian property registry data by cadastre number (matrikkel). Returns structured data for:
- Plots (Teig) — plot boundaries, area, and identifiers
- Buildings — building type, year built, floor count, and usage
- Owners — current owner records linked to a cadastre unit
- Addresses — official postal and visiting addresses
- Assets — company-owned real estate portfolios
Matching API
Search and match Norwegian addresses, locations, and geographic entities using configurable matching service codes. Supports faceted search and ranked result sets.
Embed Service
Generate signed embed tokens for securely embedding interactive Placepoint maps in external websites and applications. Supports token validation and cross-service token exchange.

- Matrikkelen — the Norwegian property registry (Kartverket)
- Enhetsregisteret — the Norwegian business registry (Brønnøysundregistrene)
