Doffin – API Portal (Test Environment)

Doffin APIs – Test Environment

This is the test environment for the Doffin APIs.

Doffin is the Norwegian database for announcements of public procurement and procurement in the utilities sector (water and energy supply, transport and telecommunications) subject to EEA regulations.

The purpose of this API portal is to provide third-party systems (such as KGV systems and other integrators) access to Doffin APIs for development, integration and testing purposes.

The portal provides access to:

• Notices API – Submission and processing of procurement notices.

Rate limits

Unless otherwise specified for an operation, the Doffin Notices API allows a maximum of 30 requests per minute per API subscription.

Some operations have specific limits, which are documented on the relevant operation. If a limit is exceeded, the API returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. Clients should respect the Retry-After response header before retrying.

⚠️ Important

This environment is intended for testing and integration only.

• Notices submitted in this environment are published on test.doffin.no for testing purposes only. They do not constitute official publication on the production Doffin portal or TED and have no legal effect.

• Translation API is currently unavailable in the test environment, although the endpoint may appear in the API documentation.

• Data and functionality in this environment may differ from production.

• Test data may be reset periodically.

• Do not submit real procurement notices or sensitive information.

Access to the APIs requires registration. Once approved, you may create a subscription and use the provided subscription key to access the available endpoints.
