## About

Dataforsyningen is the primary geographic data platform operated by Klimadatastyrelsen (Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure). It provides open web services (WMS, WFS, WMTS) and REST endpoints for topographic maps, the Danish Elevation Model (Danmarks Højdemodel / DHM), cadastral boundaries, and high-resolution aerial photography (ortofoto). Developers can generate free access tokens to query spatial services directly.

## Agent use cases

- Fetch terrain and surface elevation models (DHM) for coordinate points across Denmark
- Integrate WMS and WMTS basemap tile layers into mapping and spatial visualization pipelines
- Query cadastral and topographic vector features via WFS endpoints
- Download high-resolution aerial ortho-photographs and historical imagery
- Enrich property, planning, and environmental analysis workflows with authoritative geodata

## Notes

Free registration required to generate personal API tokens. Datasets are licensed under Danish open data terms (free commercial and non-commercial reuse with attribution).
