List bankruptcies of Danish companies
list_bankruptciesBankruptcy decrees (konkursdekreter) for Danish companies as the bankruptcy courts publish them in Statstidende, newest decree first: the court, case number and trustee (kurator), with the company's industry and company form from CVR. Needs no CVR number, so it answers "which companies went bankrupt" filtered by decree date, court, industry, city or name. One row per bankruptcy: a decree printed again or corrected appears once, as its newest notice. Companies only: personal bankruptcies and sole proprietorships in the owner's name are not listed. Complete for decrees from January 2026 on; the handful of earlier decrees it holds are not a full record, so do not count bankruptcies before 2026 with it. A decree arrives when Statstidende prints it, two days after it at the earliest and nearly always within a week, so the past week is still filling in. Statistics Denmark's monthly figure is a different count, not a contradiction: it dates a bankruptcy by its notice in Statstidende, not by the decree, and it includes sole proprietorships, so a month counted here differs from it, most when many decrees fall in the month's last days. "total" is the full count of matches, so "how many" takes one call, not paging. A row's "cvr" is null when the notice gave none; otherwise get_company and the section tools take it from there. "virksomhedsform" is CVR's short code here (APS, A/S), not the full name list_new_companies gives. Costs 1 credit per page and works on every plan.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| to | No | Latest decree date to include, YYYY-MM-DD. | |
| city | No | City, exact match including the postal district: "København K" or "Aarhus C", not "København". Matches the city on the notice or the company's registered city, which can be spelled differently ("Århus C", "Aarhus C"). When unsure of the spelling, list without this filter and reuse a value from the results. | |
| from | No | Earliest decree date to include, YYYY-MM-DD. | |
| page | No | Page of results, starting at 1. page × per_page may be at most 100000. | |
| court | No | Bankruptcy court (skifteret), exact match, e.g. "Sø- og Handelsretten" or "Retten i Aarhus". | |
| query | No | Part of the company name, matched anywhere in it and ignoring case. | |
| industry | No | Industry, exact match on the Danish text CVR uses, e.g. "Servering af mad i restauranter og caféer". When unsure of the spelling, list without this filter and reuse a value from the results. | |
| per_page | No | Rows per page (max 100). Every page costs a credit, so to count, read "total" rather than paging through the rows. |
