 Warning: In order to ensure that IATE performs satisfactorily for all users, large volumes of unsigned queries that might impact the normal performance of the system are not processed. Please contact the IATE Support & Development Team (iate@cdt.europa.eu) to obtain a token to be used in your queries via the search APIs. |
IATE is developed with a web services layer. The main consumer of these web services is the graphical user interface (GUI), but interested users can also use the REST (representational state transfer) application programming interfaces (APIs) to consult IATE data directly from third-party tools.
The message format for both the body of the requests and the answers is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). Future development will include HTML as an output format for added convenience.
Examples of queries allowed for public users are contained in the SoapUI project and can be imported with the open source version of the SoapUI tool (https://www.soapui.org/). The SoapUI project also includes the inventories needed for the search options available to public users.
We invite you to take a look at the developer API documentation ☍ and at some examples of IATE search APIs ☍.
