DEVELOPMENT VERSION: This is an experimental DALICC environment. Features, data and APIs may change or be reset without notice. A stable version of this service, with a potentially different feature set, will be made available soon at dalicc.net.

API

Everything DALICC does through the website it also does over HTTP. Start with the interactive documentation, then read the reference for what each answer means.

  • Interactive API documentation

    The OpenAPI page lists every operation with its parameters and its answers, and it sends a request for you from the browser. It runs on the API host, so it opens in a tab of its own.

    Open the API documentation

  • API reference

    The reference explains every endpoint in prose: what it takes, what it answers and what each field means. Read it when you know the shape of a call and need to know what it does.

  • Python client

    The dalicc package wraps the same operations as Python functions, and it brings a command line tool along. Its only runtime dependency is httpx.

  • API tokens and limits

    Reading, searching and reasoning need no credentials, so most of the API answers you right away. Writing and anything that belongs to an account need a personal token. Accounts are given by invitation.

Nothing the API returns is legal advice. Every answer is a statement about a model of a license, not about the license text.

The records the API returns are published under CC BY 4.0. Credit them as: DALICC License Library, DALICC - Verein zur Förderung der Rechtssicherheit in der Datenbewirtschaftung, https://dalicc.net, CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). The license a record describes belongs to its publisher. Licensing says what else is under which license.

The ten documented operations are unchanged: their paths, parameter names, parameter types, defaults and response keys stay as they were published, and everything added since is additive.
