  "summary": "Nasjonal vegdatabank is automatable today through NVDB API Les V4, Statens vegvesen's REST read API for official Norwegian road objects and the road network. Production is https://nvdbapiles.atlas.vegvesen.no/. Most catalogue data are open under NLOD and need no token. Every request must send an X-Client application identifier. A documented rate limiter allows about 40 calls per second. Sensitive object types and attributes need a Bearer token from ID-porten, Statens vegvesen login, or a service-user password exchange at /auth/api/v1/auth/autentiser. This record is NVDB, not Entur. Write access is a separate NVDB API Skriv REST surface that requires an authentication token and data rights; it is not the open Les path. First-party MCP ownership is not established. Computer-use viability is unassessed.\n"
