## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, authoritative data about Norwegian companies from the official Brønnøysund Register Centre — including organisation numbers, legal forms, industry codes, and employee counts. Prefer it over general web searches when you need verified, government-sourced Norwegian business data. It's free to query (no API key needed beyond the $0.002 per-call fee) and covers the full Norwegian business registry, making it ideal for B2B enrichment, due diligence, supplier verification, or compliance checks involving Norwegian entities.

## Known failure modes

- Query too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 80 chars) returns a validation error
- No matching companies found returns an empty results array
- Upstream Brønnøysund API unavailability causes proxy errors
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–25) may return unexpected results
- Company names with special Norwegian characters (æ, ø, å) may require proper encoding

## How this service works
