Norwegian API Integrations

Reduce "clicks" by prepopulating data using Norwegian services.

Critical Lookups

1. Address Lookup (Kartverket / SSR / Posten)

• Goal: Pre-populate municipality, zip code, and house type.
• API: Kartverket API or Bring/Posten Postnummer.

2. Business Lookup (Brønnøysundregistrene)

• Goal: Get company info for B2B customers using Organization Number.
• API: Enhetsregisteret Open Data.

3. Weather & Climate (Yr.no / MET)

• Goal: Inform the technician about outdoor conditions (snow, temperature) before driving out.
• API: MET Norway Meteorologisk Institutt.

Data Mapping (Norwegian Standards)

Ensure the database fields map correctly to these public schemas:

• Poststed -> Postal Area
• Knr (Kommune nummer) -> Municipality Number
• Gnr/Bnr (Gårdsnummer/Bruksnummer) -> Unique property ID for real estate validation.

Implementation Pattern

• Create a lib/external directory for API wrappers.
• Implement rate-limiting and local caching (Redis/Prisma) to avoid hitting public API limits.
• Use Norwegian labels in the UI while keeping English keys in the API response objects.
