An API platform for property, buildings and companies
Property, buildings, owners, tenants, transactions, companies and areas in Norway and Sweden over the same contract, with address search, valuation and map embedding alongside.
Nøkkelen virker i dag på Leietaker-API og dagens Data API; Placepoint API godtar samme nøkkel når det lanseres.

- Test key with GitHub in under a minute
- One REST API
- JSON
- Norway and Sweden
- Kartverket and BRREG data
ℹ️ Placepoint API is under construction. The endpoints on these pages describe the contract; they respond once the platform launches. The tenant API already responds via the test key at /leietakerapi.
What the platform covers
Placepoint API gives you the same data as Placepoint Fusion, over one REST API: property, buildings, owners, tenants, transactions, companies and areas in Norway and Sweden on the same contract, with one agreement and one login. Lookups done manually across several registers today are done by the system that needs the answer.
| Area | Scope |
|---|---|
| Property in Norway | 3.5 million matrikkelenhet units, with buildings, addresses and data from Grunnboken |
| Companies | 1.1 million active companies and 850,000 sub-units |
| Ownership | over 30 million ownership records and 5.3 million links between company addresses and properties |
| Property in Sweden | 4.2 million fastigheter across all 290 municipalities |
| Rate of change | around 240,000 registered changes of ownership and 300,000 address changes a year |
Every figure is checked against the source and comes with an explanation on Placepoint in numbers. The datasets they build on, and who supplies them, are listed on Data and sources and Vendors. The platform is used today by more than 850 customers and over 6,500 professional users.
Getting started
Log in with GitHub at the top of the page for a test key (ppk_test_...) to the sandbox, one click and under a minute, no payment card. With the key in hand, a call to the property endpoint looks like this:
/properties/{country}/{cadastreId}curl -X GET "https://data.placepoint.no/properties/NO/0301-207-76-0-0" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

One platform
The platform brings together the APIs and features from Placepoint, PropCloud and Placepoint Maps. What used to be three products with an API each becomes one: one agreement, one login and one set of endpoints. The merge happens in stages, and new endpoints arrive as the services move over. The changes are listed in News.
The data is the same as in Placepoint Fusion: each dataset, what it contains and where it comes from is listed on Data and sources. What the map and the map layers show is what the API delivers.
The developer portal
The developer portal is the technical reference documentation, in English, with endpoints, parameters and examples per operation. The guide at docs.placepoint.no/developer/guide/ shows you how to get started: authentication, error handling and pagination.
Legacy
Customer API, Matching API, Embed Service, Data API and PropCloud remain documented under Legacy in the developer portal, for existing integrations.
Would you rather ask than program
Placepoint AI gives Claude the same data without you writing code, and the Agent does it inside Placepoint Fusion; ready-made reports and example prompts are on Examples. The API suits cases where the data goes into a system that runs without a person in the conversation.
