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.
Contents
Request parameters
Three request parameters can be used to do a search in archival descriptions.
eg.
{
"count": 5,
"startIndex": 0,
"query": "nepal"
}
On [base_url]/search/ead/F9816/children, it gives all the clevel descriptive units of finding aid identified with "F9816", in hierarchy directly under 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.
query
Containing the searchterm(s). Required.
