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

This search service delivers a list of archival descriptions with the requested searchterm 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 search result.



Request parameters

Three request parameters can be used to do a search in archival descriptions.

Empty Request example:

ID = .....

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

Basic Request example:

ID = C85446159

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

On [base_url]/search/ead/C85446159/children, it gives all the clevel descriptive units of descriptive unit identified with "C85446159", in the hierarchy directly under C85446159 that contain the searchterm "KNVB".

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.

query

Containing the searchterm(s). Required.

Response parameters

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

Empty Response example:

{
  "totalResults": 0,
  "startIndex": 0,
  "totalPages": 0,
  "eadSearchResults": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "fondsUnitTitle": "string",
      "fondsUnitId": "string",
      "repository": "string",
      "country": "string",

      "repositoryCode": "string",
      "hasDigitalObject": false,
      "numberOfDigitalObjects": 0,
      "numberOfDigitalObjectsInDescendents": 0,
      "numberOfDescendents": 0,
      "docType": "string",
      "docTypeId": "string",
      "level": "string",
      "indexDate": "string",
      "unitId": "string",
      "unitTitle": "string",
      "unitTitleWithHighlighting": "string",
      "scopeContent": "string",
      "scopeContentWithHighlighting": "string",
