citizen-dk

name: citizen-dk description: Search Danish citizen / public-service portals via the `citizen` CLI — Q&A search across borger.dk (national), nyidanmark.dk (immigration) and frederiksberg.dk (municipal), plus factual pages for any of the 98 municipalities (kommune.dk). Merges borger-dk, frederiksberg-dk, kk-dk, kommune-dk and nyidanmark-dk. Use to find official Danish citizen-service info. last-updated: 2026-05-30

A slim CLI over Denmark's official citizen and public-service portals. It queries their internal JSON search APIs so you can find the right citizen-service topic/article quickly, plus pull factual pages on any of the 98 municipalities.

All data is anonymous and free (no MitID needed for the public Q&A surface).

CLI

citizen <command> [options]

Prerequisites

which citizen || pipx install -e <path-to-this-skill>   # install the CLI

Standard library only. Every command takes --json for the raw upstream JSON and exits non-zero on HTTP/API errors.

Commands

Command	What it does
`citizen search QUERY [--source borger\|nyidanmark\|frederiksberg\|all] [-n N]`	Search a portal's Q&A surface
`citizen municipality NAME [--section S] [--chars N]`	Factual page for one of the 98 municipalities (kommune.dk)

Search

citizen search "pas"                          # borger.dk (default) topic suggestions
citizen search "arbejdstilladelse" --source nyidanmark   # full results + links
citizen search "flytning" --source frederiksberg
citizen search "flytning" --source all        # fan out to all three

Source characteristics:

borger (default) — borger.dk, the national portal. Returns autocomplete suggestions (the topics people search for); there is no public full-results API, so use the suggestions to find the exact topic, then read it on borger.dk.
nyidanmark — nyidanmark.dk, the immigration portal. Returns full results with titles and links (the richest source).
frederiksberg — frederiksberg.dk, Frederiksberg Kommune. Returns typeahead suggestions.

Municipality facts

citizen municipality "København"
citizen municipality "Aarhus" --section borgerservice
citizen municipality "Hørsholm" --json

Pulls the kommune.dk page for the municipality (WordPress REST API) and prints readable text. Names are transliterated to the site's slug convention (æ→ae, ø→oe, å→a). Pages have sections like overblik, borgerservice, boligmarkedet, skoler, kulturliv, erhvervsliv — jump to one with --section.

What this replaces

Supersedes the separate borger-dk, nyidanmark-dk, frederiksberg-dk, kommune-dk, and kk-dk skills:

borger.dk /api/search → search --source borger
nyidanmark.dk /api/search/getsearchresults → search --source nyidanmark
frederiksberg.dk /api/search/GetTypeAhead → search --source frederiksberg
kommune.dk WordPress REST API → municipality
kk.dk (City of Copenhagen) has no JSON search API — its /soeg?k= results are JS-rendered. Browse https://www.kk.dk/soeg?k=<query> directly, or use agent-browser if you need to script it.

How it works / robustness notes

borger.dk /api/search is a POST needing the Sitecore portalId (ecfef56c-98e7-42f9-9e22-37d9268009ad). If borger.dk re-keys it, refresh the data-portal-id from the home-page HTML and update BORGER_PORTAL_ID in citizen_dk/main.py.
frederiksberg.dk search needs a pageId (15719, the site-wide search page); update FBG_SEARCH_PAGE_ID if it changes.
All endpoints are undocumented internal APIs and can change without notice.

Limits

No MitID / personal dashboards (Mit Overblik, Digital Post, Min Side).
borger and frederiksberg expose suggestions only, not full article bodies.
kk.dk search is not scriptable without a browser.
