The Brreg Open API is free and public — Orakel uses it as one of its sources. If you only need basic company lookups, it's a valid starting point. Orakel adds financial data from Regnskapsregisteret, enriched people profiles, CRM sync, and a managed MCP server that works in Claude without any setup.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Orakel's Norwegian company data come from?
Company identity, addresses, roles, and status come from Brønnøysundregistrene — specifically the Enhetsregisteret and Foretaksregisteret. Financial data (revenue, operating profit, EBITDA) comes from Regnskapsregisteret, the Norwegian register of annual accounts. Both are official Norwegian government sources published under the NLOD 2.0 open data licence.
How many Norwegian companies are in the database?
Over 1.1 million companies, covering all companies, foundations, associations, and public bodies registered in Enhetsregisteret — active companies, dissolved companies, foundations, associations, and public bodies. The full register includes both currently active and historical records.
How current is the financial data?
Orakel stores the latest annual filing available from Regnskapsregisteret, plus up to four previous years of history accumulated over time. Annual accounts for a given financial year are typically published April–June of the following year. The free Regnskapsregisteret API exposes only the most recent filing; Orakel builds up multi-year history passively as each new year's data becomes available.
What's the difference between Enhetsregisteret and Foretaksregisteret?
Enhetsregisteret (the Entity Register) is the central register for all companies, foundations, associations, and public bodies in Norway — companies, foundations, associations, and public bodies. Foretaksregisteret (the Register of Business Enterprises) is a subset that covers organizations with commercial activity and imposes annual-accounts disclosure obligations. Most companies you will look up are registered in both.
Does Orakel cover sole traders (ENK) and non-profits?
Yes. Orakel ingests the full Enhetsregisteret, which includes sole traders (enkeltpersonforetak), limited companies (AS/ASA), general partnerships (ANS/DA), foundations (stiftelser), associations (foreninger), and public bodies. Legal form is returned on every record so you can filter by organization type.
How do I look up a company by org number?
Send a GET request to https://api.orakel.cloud/v1/companies/{orgNumber} with your API key in the Authorization header. The org number can be passed with or without spaces. The response includes identity, financials, key people, and source attribution in a single JSON object.
Is the data GDPR-compliant?
Orakel returns data from official public registries that are published under Norwegian and EU open-data frameworks. Company roles (board members, CEO) are public record under Norwegian company law and are treated as professional data, not personal data, for GDPR purposes. Orakel does not include personal identity numbers (fødselsnummer) or private address data. All processing happens on EU infrastructure (Hetzner Helsinki).
