Search API
The National Archives Search API is a REST API, giving external systems access to search functions like the web search service and provides public information as linked data (RDF). Presently (summer 2023) the Search API is a beta version.
Limitations in version 0.9:
- The search only covers three object types
- Archive records
- Authorities (persons and organizations)
- Topographies (places and administrative division)
- The RDF representation is not complete
- There are no RDF resources for concepts etc. (the URIs are not dereferencable)
Method returning version number of the Search API.

{
"apiVersion": "0.9.0.1"
}
Method returning operational status for the API. This currently just a placeholder.
http://data.riksarkivet.se/api/status
{
"operationalStatus": "ok"
}
The search result list contains basic data about the search hits. For complete information about specific records, there are links to an RDF representation of the records, serialized as RDF/XML and JSON-LD.
