What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- Friluftslivsområder are each kommune's own mapping of its outdoor-recreation areas (nærturterreng, strandsone, utfartsområde, leke- og rekreasjonsområde, grønnkorridor) and are not mapped everywhere; a missing area may mean an unmapped kommune. Beaches are OpenStreetMap features. coast_zone is SSB's 100 m strandsone along the sea. Distances are straight-line metres to the area's edge, 0 inside.
Fields
16 of 16 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
