search_records

Search published eInnsyn records (journalposter and saksmapper).

Signature: search_records(query: string, optional, default None; agency: string, optional, default None; record_type: string, optional, default None; published_from: string, optional, default None; published_to: string, optional, default None; sort: string, optional, default 'relevance'; limit: integer, items, optional, default 20; cursor: string, optional, default None; offset: integer, items, optional, default 0)

Direct GET

For navigating agents: open the HTML page with parameters in the URL. The result is fetched and displayed without screenshots or form filling.

https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/kilder/einnsyn/search_records/?query={query}&agency={agency}&record_type={record_type}&published_from={published_from}&published_to={published_to}&sort=relevance&limit=20&cursor={cursor}&offset=0

Replace {query}, {agency}, {record_type}, {published_from}, {published_to}, {sort}, {limit}, {cursor} with values. Remove unused optional parameters from the URL.

For software and dashboards: Read the operation descriptor. The JSON GET template is https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/einnsyn/search_records?query={query}&agency={agency}&record_type={record_type}&published_from={published_from}&published_to={published_to}&sort=relevance&limit=20&cursor={cursor}&offset=0.

Parameter	Requirement	JSON type	Description
`query`	optional	union	Free-text search, e.g. "vindkraft". At least one of query and agency is required.
`agency`	optional	union	A 9-digit organisation number, or an agency name such as "Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat". A name must match exactly one agency in eInnsyn's agency list; use find_agencies to check.
`record_type`	optional	union	"journalpost" (single documents) or "saksmappe" (case files), case-insensitive. Omit for both.
`published_from`	optional	union	Inclusive publication date range, YYYY-MM-DD, in Norwegian local time (Europe/Oslo).
`published_to`	optional	union	Inclusive publication date range, YYYY-MM-DD, in Norwegian local time (Europe/Oslo).
`sort`	optional	string	"relevance" (default) or "newest" (publication date, newest first).
`limit`	optional	integer	Max records per page, 1-100 (default 20). Unit: items.

`offset`	optional	integer	Number of list items to skip; default 0.

Generated JavaScript, Python and response structure

Use JSON when the user requests code, machine-readable data, value extraction or further computation. Use the HTML GET page to identify the correct source and verify parameters.

Example for generated JavaScript and Python

https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/einnsyn/search_records?query={query}&agency={agency}&record_type={record_type}&published_from={published_from}&published_to={published_to}&sort=relevance&limit=20&cursor={cursor}&offset=0

Replace URL placeholders and remove unused optional parameters.

JavaScript in a dashboard

const url = "https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/einnsyn/search_records?query={query}&agency={agency}&record_type={record_type}&published_from={published_from}&published_to={published_to}&sort=relevance&limit=20&cursor={cursor}&offset=0";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) {
  const failure = await response.json();
  throw new Error(`${failure.error.code}: ${failure.error.message} ${failure.suggestion}`);
}
const result = await response.json();
const data = result.data;

Python without additional packages

import json
from urllib.request import urlopen

url = "https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/einnsyn/search_records?query={query}&agency={agency}&record_type={record_type}&published_from={published_from}&published_to={published_to}&sort=relevance&limit=20&cursor={cursor}&offset=0"
with urlopen(url) as response:
    result = json.load(response)
data = result["data"]

Response structure

{
  "source": "einnsyn",
  "operation": "search_records",
  "parameters": {},
  "data": {},
  "entities": [],
  "_meta": {"retrieved_at": "...", "sources": [], "cache": {}},
  "_links": {"self": "...", "source": "...", "wiki": "...", "feedback": "..."}
}

How an AI agent should use this page

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.

How to use the search_records lookup

Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
Follow linked results to canonical pages before combining sources.

Misreading to avoid: An empty list means "no results for this lookup". An error message or unavailable source does not mean the data does not exist.

Source-specific next step

Go to the source page for other operations. Use the JSON template only after the HTML result shows that the parameters and source are correct.
