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.

Terrain-only line of sight from 4 m above ground; buildings and trees are not modelled unless the surface model includes them.
Straight-line EPSG:25833 distances from the address point to the feature; not travel distance. Source features are imported as published, with their own accuracy and update cadence; updated_at is our import time.

Fields

2 of 11 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.

Fetch this section

Send the key in the X-API-Key header. The section can be fetched with the rest of the address, or on its own with pagination.

curl --fail-with-body --silent --show-error \
  -H "X-API-Key: $APPROACH_API_KEY" \
  'https://api.approach.no/api/v1/addresses/285717643?include=viewshed'

# paginated, one section at a time
