The Search API supports the same searching, sorting, and faceting operations as the Dataverse Software's web interface.
To search unpublished content, you must pass in an API token as described in the :doc:`auth` section.
The parameters and JSON response are partly inspired by the GitHub Search API.
Note
CORS The search API can be used from scripts running in web browsers, as it allows cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).
Please note that in Dataverse Software 4.3 and older the "citation" field wrapped the persistent ID URL in an <a> tag but this has been changed to plaintext. If you want the old value with HTML in it, a new field called "citationHtml" can be used.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| q | string | The search term or terms. Using "title:data" will search only the "title" field. "*" can be used as a wildcard either alone or adjacent to a term (i.e. "bird*"). For example, https://demo.dataverse.org/api/search?q=title:data . For a list of fields to search, please see #2558 (for now). |
| type | string | Can be either "dataverse", "dataset", or "file". Multiple "type" parameters can be used to include multiple types (i.e. type=dataset&type=file). If omitted, all types will be returned. For example, https://demo.dataverse.org/api/search?q=*&type=dataset |
| subtree | string | The identifier of the Dataverse collection to which the search should be narrowed. The subtree of this Dataverse collection and all its children will be searched. Multiple "subtree" parameters can be used to include multiple Dataverse collections. For example, https://demo.dataverse.org/api/search?q=data&subtree=birds&subtree=cats . |
| sort | string | The sort field. Supported values include "name" and "date". See example under "order". |
| order | string | The order in which to sort. Can either be "asc" or "desc". For example, https://demo.dataverse.org/api/search?q=data&sort=name&order=asc |
| per_page | int | The number of results to return per request. The default is 10. The max is 1000. See :ref:`iteration example <iteration-example>`. |
| start | int | A cursor for paging through search results. See :ref:`iteration example <iteration-example>`. |
| show_relevance | boolean | Whether or not to show details of which fields were matched by the query. False by default. See :ref:`advanced search example <advancedsearch-example>`. |
| show_facets | boolean | Whether or not to show facets that can be operated on by the "fq" parameter. False by default. See :ref:`advanced search example <advancedsearch-example>`. |
| fq | string | A filter query on the search term. Multiple "fq" parameters can be used. See :ref:`advanced search example <advancedsearch-example>`. |
| show_entity_ids | boolean | Whether or not to show the database IDs of the search results (for developer use). |
| geo_point | string | Latitude and longitude in the form geo_point=42.3,-71.1. You must supply geo_radius as well. See also :ref:`geospatial-search`. |
| geo_radius | string | Radial distance in kilometers from geo_point (which must be supplied as well) such as geo_radius=1.5. |
| metadata_fields | string | Includes the requested fields for each dataset in the response. Multiple "metadata_fields" parameters can be used to include several fields. The value must be in the form "{metadata_block_name}:{field_name}" to include a specific field from a metadata block (see :ref:`example <dynamic-citation-some>`) or "{metadata_field_set_name}:*" to include all the fields for a metadata block (see :ref:`example <dynamic-citation-all>`). "{field_name}" cannot be a subfield of a compound field. If "{field_name}" is a compound field, all subfields are included. |

"description": "Raja Ampat is located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia's West Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. The Raja Ampat archipelago straddles the Equator and forms part of Coral Triangle which contains the richest marine biodiversity on earth. Administratively, the archipelago is part of the province of West Papua (formerly known as Irian Jaya). Most of the islands constitute the Raja Ampat Regency, which was separated out from Sorong Regency in 2004. The regency encompasses around 70,000 square kilometres (27,000 sq mi) of land and sea, and has a population of about 50,000 (as of 2017).

"description": "Raja Ampat is located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia's West Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. The Raja Ampat archipelago straddles the Equator and forms part of Coral Triangle which contains the richest marine biodiversity on earth. Administratively, the archipelago is part of the province of West Papua (formerly known as Irian Jaya). Most of the islands constitute the Raja Ampat Regency, which was separated out from Sorong Regency in 2004. The regency encompasses around 70,000 square kilometres (27,000 sq mi) of land and sea, and has a population of about 50,000 (as of 2017).

}Below is an example of searching across a date range of Dataverse collections, datasets, and files that were published in 2018.
Be default, up to 10 results are returned with every request (though this can be increased with the per_page parameter). To iterate through many results, increase the start parameter on each iteration until you reach the total_count in the response. An example in Python is below.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib2
import json
base = 'https://demo.dataverse.org'
rows = 10
start = 0
page = 1
condition = True # emulate do-while
while (condition):
url = base + '/api/search?q=*' + "&start=" + str(start)
data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(url))
total = data['data']['total_count']
print "=== Page", page, "==="
print "start:", start, " total:", total
for i in data['data']['items']:
print "- ", i['name'], "(" + i['type'] + ")"
start = start + rows
page += 1
condition = start < totalOutput from iteration example
