Direct GET

For navigating agents: open the HTML page with parameters in the URL. The result is fetched and displayed without screenshots or form filling.

Open this validated HTML GET URL

https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/kilder/nyheter/search_news/?query={query}&since={since}&until={until}&kind={kind}&lat={lat}&lon={lon}&radius_km=25&limit=25&offset=0

Replace {query}, {since}, {until}, {kind}, {lat}, {lon}, {radius_km}, {limit}, {offset} with values. Remove unused optional parameters from the URL.

For software and dashboards: Read the operation descriptor. The JSON GET template is https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/nyheter/search_news?query={query}&since={since}&until={until}&kind={kind}&lat={lat}&lon={lon}&radius_km=25&limit=25&offset=0. Open this exact request as JSON.

Parameter	Requirement	JSON type	Description
`query`	optional	union	Free-text term matched case-insensitively against each event's name, summary and location (client-side; the API has no text search). E.g. "brann", "Bergen", "trafikkulykke".
`since`	optional	union	ISO 8601 UTC lower bound on when the event was seen, e.g. "2026-07-10T00:00:00Z". Default: 24 hours ago.
`until`	optional	union	ISO 8601 UTC upper bound. Default: open-ended.
`kind`	optional	union	"news" for news media only, "police" for police log (politiloggen) entries only. Default: both.
`lat`	optional	union	Centre latitude (WGS84) for an area search. Give lat and lon together to only return events within radius_km of the point. Unit: decimal degrees (WGS84).
`lon`	optional	union	Centre longitude (WGS84). Unit: decimal degrees (WGS84).
`radius_km`	optional	number	Search radius in km around lat/lon (default 25). Unit: kilometres.
`limit`	optional	integer	Max events to return, 1 to 100 (default 25). Unit: items.
`offset`	optional	integer	Skip this many matching events (for pagination). Unit: items.

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.

Example for generated JavaScript and Python

https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/nyheter/search_news?query={query}&since={since}&until={until}&kind={kind}&lat={lat}&lon={lon}&radius_km=25&limit=25&offset=0

Replace URL placeholders and remove unused optional parameters.

JavaScript in a dashboard

const url = "https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/nyheter/search_news?query={query}&since={since}&until={until}&kind={kind}&lat={lat}&lon={lon}&radius_km=25&limit=25&offset=0";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) {
  const failure = await response.json();
  throw new Error(`${failure.error.code}: ${failure.error.message} ${failure.suggestion}`);
}
const result = await response.json();
const data = result.data;

Python without additional packages

import json
from urllib.request import urlopen

url = "https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/nyheter/search_news?query={query}&since={since}&until={until}&kind={kind}&lat={lat}&lon={lon}&radius_km=25&limit=25&offset=0"
with urlopen(url) as response:
    result = json.load(response)
data = result["data"]

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_news lookup

Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
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.
