Denmark 🇩🇰¶
Parcels in Denmark come from SDFI (the cadastre, Matriklen) via the free,
open DAWA API (api.dataforsyningen.dk) — no key or token. Geometry is
returned in EPSG:4326.
Querying¶
The plot_id is ejerlavkode-matrikelnr (cadastral district code + parcel
number), e.g. 2000179-7000q.
Input coordinates are longitude, latitude (EPSG:4326).

Notes¶
- Area is the geodesic area on the WGS84 ellipsoid; it matches DAWA's official registreretareal within rounding.
- A point outside any parcel (e.g. at sea) raises
PlotNotFoundError.
