Recordbase · a catalog of public datasets

API (v1)

Free, versioned, rate limited. Provenance in every response. No key needed to read the catalog.

GET /api/v1/catalog?jurisdiction= &sector= &coverage_status= &limit= (max 100)
GET /api/v1/catalog/{slug}one catalog entry, full metadata
GET /api/v1/families?record_class= &published= &limit= — all 100 families, published and withheld, each with withheld_reason
GET /api/v1/families/{slug}one family
GET /api/v1/metacatalog counts, jurisdictions, sectors, limitations

A withheld family has no page and is not in the sitemap. It is still returned by /api/v1/families, with the reason — so nobody has to guess whether we looked.

Unsupported parameters are accepted, ignored and logged — asking for a field we do not have is the most useful thing you can tell us.
