About Motorbay

Motorbay turns Motorstyrelsen's public extract of the Danish Motor Register into a modern REST API. We are two developers in Copenhagen, Lukas Ryborg Dreier and Simon Christensen, and we built the API we wanted ourselves: predictable, well documented and easy to build on.

We fetch Motorstyrelsen's extract about once a week, import it without guessing or filling in values, and serve it from servers in the EU. Every response says which extract it comes from.

Motorbay is not affiliated with Motorstyrelsen.

How we work

  • Transparent data

    Every response says which extract it comes from, and we import it without guessing or filling in values.

  • A stable API

    Changes that could break your code come in a new version. Everything is in the changelog.

  • Data in the EU

    The API, the databases and accounts run on servers in the EU.
