apis.is is a free aggregator over Icelandic public APIs. The /company endpoint looks up the Icelandic business register by name or kennitala (registration number), normalised to the same company-card shape as Brreg, CVR and YTJ (id, name, address, status, VAT). Rate-limited (x-ratelimit-*), no auth — a quick win for better Nordic coverage in demos/POCs.
