Norway Company Register (Brønnøysund / Brreg) - Search Norwegian Companies

Search all 1.1M+ legal entities in Norway in the official Brønnøysund Register Centre open data API (Enhetsregisteret, data.brreg.no) and get one clean English-keyed JSON row per company: org number, name, legal form, NACE industry, employees, activity, founded and registration dates, website, business and postal address, municipality, VAT / business-register status, share capital, latest annual accounts year, bankruptcy / liquidation flags and - for companies - the registered email and phone. No key, no scraping - 100 companies in about a second.
