ParameterRequirementJSON typeDescription
queryoptionalstringFree-text search (Norwegian or English), e.g. "IT-drift", "snørydding", "rammeavtale konsulent". Start here.
typesoptionalunionFilter by notice type. Parent types: PLANNING, COMPETITION, RESULT. Specific types: ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_COMPETITION, DYNAMIC_PURCHASING_SCHEME, QUALIFICATION_SCHEME, ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_INTENT, PRE_ANNOUNCEMENT, ADVISORY_NOTICE, NOTICE_ON_BUYER_PROFILE, ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT, CHANGE_OF_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT, CANCELLED_OR_MISSING_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT. Use ["COMPETITION"] + statuses=["ACTIVE"] for open tenders.
statusesoptionalunionACTIVE (open for bids), EXPIRED, AWARDED, CANCELLED.
contract_natureoptionalunionWORKS, SERVICES and/or SUPPLIES.

Pass the 32-hex buyer id from a result's buyer field directly to skip the lookup.
winneroptionalunionDoffin's internal supplier id (32-hex). Winner names cannot be used - they are not present in search results to resolve against.
date_fromoptionalunionPublication date lower bound, "YYYY-MM-DD".
date_tooptionalunionPublication date upper bound, "YYYY-MM-DD".
sort_byoptionalstringRELEVANCE (default), PUBLICATION_DATE_DESC, PUBLICATION_DATE_ASC, DEADLINE, ESTIMATED_VALUE_ASC, ESTIMATED_VALUE_DESC.

hits_per_pageoptionalinteger1-50 (default 10).
include_placeholdersoptionalbooleanBy default, hits whose buyer fields look like unfilled eForm template values (org id 123456789, placeholder buyer names) are dropped from the results as junk. Set True to keep them, each flagged with "possible_placeholder": true.

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.

How to use the search_doffin lookup

  1. Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
  2. Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
  3. Follow linked results to canonical pages before combining sources.

Misreading to avoid: An empty list means "no results for this lookup". An error message or unavailable source does not mean the data does not exist.

Source-specific next step

Go to the source page for other operations. Use the JSON template only after the HTML result shows that the parameters and source are correct.
