Examples

Copy-paste API calls bucketed into the four workflows AI agents actually run against Norwegian regulatory infrastructure. Every request hits a merged endpoint documented at /openapi.json; every response matches the live shape. For the agent-first discovery manifest see /api/v1/capabilities.

Read

Fetch regulatory facts and company data. Two free zero-auth surfaces and one Tier-1+Tier-2 company read.

Fetch the canonical obligation template set for a Norwegian entity type. Zero-auth, no signup.
