Autocomplete with caretpos

Autocomplete

For an address field with suggestions as the user types:

GET /v1/autocomplete?q=<text>&type=<adresse|adgangsadresse>

• q: the text the user typed.
• type: adresse (unit address) or adgangsadresse (house-number level).
• postnr / kommunekode: optional narrowing.
• limit: up to 50 (default 20).

caretpos (the cursor position in q) is only used by the DAWA engine: use /dawa/autocomplete, or add motor=dawa on /v1/autocomplete.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <key>" \
  "https://api.danskadresseapi.dk/dawa/autocomplete?q=rådhusplads&caretpos=10&type=adgangsadresse"

DAWA parity: /dawa/autocomplete and /dawa/adresser/autocomplete behave like the official DAWA (same ranking and fields).

Autocomplete is built for fast keystrokes. To fully validate a typed address, use datavask — see that article.
