Authentication

For this API the combination of referer and apiKey is used as authentication.
The apiKey provided when signing up for the service at DI Address Helper. The e-mail registered when signing up is responsible for approving domains used as referer.

...

Note

Remember to URI Encode. All requests MUST be in UTF-8 (not ISO-8859-1). Scandinavian characters must be encoded, e.g. æ → %c3%a6. Otherwise there will be no results when searching for a street name with these characters.
Beware that every request MUST contain a "referer"-header. The refererer must be a full URL (with schema), and the API-account will get an approval email each time a new domain is used.
