DAWAreplicator

About

Command-line tool (mapcentia/DAWAreplicator, AGPL-3.0) that performs a full initial replication of Danmarks Adresseregister via the DAWA API into PostgreSQL/PostGIS, then keeps it updated incrementally. Distributed as a pre-built JAR — `java -jar DAWAreplicator.jar config.yml init` for the first full load, then unattended for incremental updates (suited to a cron/scheduled job). Requires only a Java 8 runtime and a target PostgreSQL+PostGIS connection.

Agent Use Cases

• 01Stand up a local, queryable copy of the full Danish address register for a GIS pipeline
• 02Keep a local address database in near-real-time sync via scheduled incremental runs

Notes

Community CLI — not affiliated with Dataforsyningen. No commits since 2022 (5 GitHub stars) and it depends entirely on DAWA, which is being shut down (retirement already slipped from 2026-07-01 to 2026-08-17) — this tool will stop working once DAWA retires unless it's updated to target Datafordeler instead. Distinct from mcp-danish-addresses (single lookups via MCP) and denmark-dawa-cli (npm library) — this one does full-registry replication into your own database.
