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.

Generated JavaScript, Python and response structure

Use JSON when the user requests code, machine-readable data, value extraction or further computation. Use the HTML GET page to identify the correct source and verify parameters.

    Arbeidsmarkedsopplæringskurs (AMO) i IKT, digitalisering og automasjon for Arbeidssøkere over 19 år med høyere utdanning innenfor tekniske/ingeniørfag. Kurset skal ha et opplegg som er tilpasset deltagere med bakgrunn fra forskjellige tekniske disipliner som elektro, data, maskin og bygg/konstruksjon. Formålet med kurset er å gi deltagerne kompetanse innenfor digitalisering og automatisering. Etter endt kurs skal deltagerne være kvalifiserte til å tre inn i nøkkelroller i bedrifter som har behov for kompetanse innenfor digitalisering, automatisering og robotisering. Det er et sterkt økende behov for kompetanse i næringslivet innenfor digitalisering, robotisering og automatisering. De som deltar i dette kurset vil i utgangspunktet ha en generelt god grunnutdanning og vil med et slikt kurs bli faglig oppdatert og fremstå som attraktive for næringslivet. Se konkurransegrunnlag for mer informasjon.

How an AI agent should use this page

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.
