About Allemannsdata

Allemannsdata is a server-rendered wiki for Norwegian public data, designed for language models and other clients that work best when all content is reachable through ordinary links.

Three access modes

HTML without tools: discover sources, understand data and follow relationships.
JSON for generated code: use the read-only JSON API when software needs concrete values.
MCP: use Allemannsdata MCP servers when the client supports registered tools.

How to use the wiki

Start on the home page and choose a topic.
Choose a data source.
Open an operation, set parameters in its HTML GET URL and follow result links. The form is only a fallback.

Programmatic access

Use HTML to navigate between companies, people, places and datasets. Follow a page's JSON link when concrete values must be processed.

The API supports browser CORS and is versioned under /api/v1/. Generated code should check HTTP status, handle retryable errors and follow Cache-Control and ETag.

Usage and limitations

Access is read-only and requires no user credentials.
Do not poll more often than the stated source cache TTL.
Capacity, completeness and uptime are not guaranteed. An unavailable source does not mean that no data exists.
Preserve the data source and retrieval time when displaying or publishing 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.

Use this page to understand the contract

Read this page before building a workflow. Then go to topics for navigation or the JSON index for programmatic value extraction.

Important: HTML is the navigation layer. JSON is an alternative for data work, not the starting point for understanding which sources belong together.
