Request url: https://api.archivesportaleurope.net/services//hierarchy/ead/{id}/children. This service is a POST-request.

This hierarchy service delivers a list of all archival descriptions one level deeper in the hierarchy of the archival description identified with {id}. A web developer can use this service to create a tree-like presentation of a finding aid.



Request parameters

Two request parameters can be used to get a list of children of an archival description.

eg.

{
  "count": "5",
  "startIndex": 0
}

On [base_url]/search/ead/F9816/descendants, it gives all the clevel descriptive units of finding aid identified with "F9816", that contain the searchterm "nepal".

count

The resultlist is delivered in chunks of a certain size. Request parameter "count" describes the number of results that are in one chunk. Optional. Default value is 5.

startIndex

Request parameter "startIndex" enables you to select the results that you want to have. Counting starts at zero. If "count" = 5, the second chunk starts with startIndex 5, the following at startIndex 10, etc. Optional. Default value is 0.

Response parameters

The response contains a list of the descriptions where the requested search-term(s) was/were found.

eg.

{
  "totalResults": 0,
  "startIndex": 0,
  "totalPages": 0,
  "children": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "fondsUnitTitle": "string",
      "fondsUnitId": "string",
      "repository": "string",
      "country": "string",
      "language": "string",
      "langMaterial": "string",
      "unitDate": "string",
      "repositoryCode": "string",
      "hasDigitalObject": false,
      "docType": "string",
      "docTypeId": "string",
      "level": "string",
      "indexDate": "string",
      "unitId": "string",
      "unitTitle": "string",
      "scopeContent": "string",
      "siblingPosition": "string",
      "treeDepth": "string"
    }
}

totalResults

The response parameter "totalResults" gives the number of results.

startIndex

The response parameter "startIndex" gives the number of the chunk you requested.

totalPages

The response parameter "totalPages" gives the number of chunks.
