search
Search the National Library's catalog - books, newspapers, journals, photos, maps, music, manuscripts, radio/TV and more, both physical and digitized. Digitized text (OCR) is matched too by default, so a query can surface newspaper or book pages that mention a term even when it's not in the title.
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.
Open this validated HTML GET URL
https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/kilder/nasjonalbiblioteket/search/?q={q}&media_type={media_type}&language={language}&county={county}&year_from={year_from}&year_to={year_to}&digital_only=false&sort={sort}&page=0&size=10&limit=25&offset=0For software and dashboards:
Read the operation descriptor.
The JSON GET template is https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/nasjonalbiblioteket/search?q={q}&media_type={media_type}&language={language}&county={county}&year_from={year_from}&year_to={year_to}&digital_only=false&sort={sort}&page=0&size=10&limit=25&offset=0.
Open this exact request as JSON.
| Parameter | Requirement | JSON type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
q | required | string | Free-text query. Supports field-restricted terms too, e.g. "subject:fiske year:1970" combined with free text. |
media_type | optional | union | Restrict to one type, e.g. aviser (newspapers), bøker (books), tidsskrift (journals), bilder (photos), musikk, kart (maps), film, plakater (posters), noter (sheet music), radio, fjernsyn. See get_aggregations(q="*", group_by="mediatype") for the full list with counts. |
language | optional | union | Language filter - values are inconsistent in the catalog (mixes codes like "nob" and labels like "Norsk bokmål"); check get_aggregations(q=q, group_by="languages") first if unsure. |
county | optional | union | Norwegian county name, e.g. "Troms", "Oslo". |
year_from | optional | union | Restrict to items published/issued in this year range (inclusive). |
year_to | optional | union | Restrict to items published/issued in this year range (inclusive). |
digital_only | optional | boolean | Only items that have been digitized. |
sort | optional | union | One of date, title, otherid, firstDigitalContentTime, optionally suffixed ",desc" (default: relevance). |
page | optional | integer | Zero-based page index. |
size | optional | integer | Results per page, 1 to 100 (default 10). |
limit | optional | integer | Gateway page size; default 25, maximum 100. |
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.

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 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.
