German federal parliament: Vorgänge (procedures), Drucksachen, Plenarprotokolle, Personen, Aktivitäten. Key required on every data path; the spec is public. ## The published key `GET https://search.dip.bundestag.de/api/v1/openapi.yaml` → 200 `application/yaml`, 82,117 bytes, OpenAPI 3.0.1 "Deutscher Bundestag - DIP" v1.5. Its `components.securitySchemes` declares two carriers — `ApiKeyHeader` (`in: header`, `name: Authorization`) and `ApiKeyQuery` (`in: query`, `name: apikey`) — and the header scheme's `description` reads `Beispiel: *ApiKey <42-character key>*`. **That example key is live.** Sent as `?apikey=` or as `Authorization: ApiKey `, `GET /vorgang?f.datum.start=2026-09-01` returned **200**, `numFound: 1193`, 100 documents, 85,954 bytes — identical bodies for both carriers. The key is the service's own published example (the help page `https://dip.bundestag.de/über-dip/hilfe/api` is a JS shell, 2,375 bytes, so the YAML is the machine-readable place to read it); it is not reproduced here — read it from the spec at run time, and expect it to rotate. ## Refusal shape — missing and wrong keys are indistinguishable | Request | HTTP | Body | |---|---|---| | `GET /vorgang?f.datum.start=2026-09-01` (no key) | **401** | `{"code":401,"message":"An API key is required to access this service. Please refer to https://dip.bundestag.de/über-dip/hilfe/api how to apply for a key. Misuse of this service may lead to blocking your requests."}` | | same + `&apikey=not-a-real-key` | **401** | byte-identical (215 bytes) | Both carry `www-authenticate: apikey realm="realm"`. `GET /api/v1/` → 301 `location: …/api/v1/swagger-ui/`. ## Paging: fixed 100, cursor, termination by fixed point - Page 1: `{"numFound":1193,"documents":[100 items],"cursor":""}`. `rows=500` → still 100 documents — **page size is not a parameter**. - Page 2 = *repeat every original parameter* and add `&cursor=` → 200, `numFound` unchanged, 100 new documents (first id changed from 339808 to 338958), a **different** cursor. - The spec's rule (translated): "follow-up requests can be made until the cursor no longer changes". There is no `next` link and no `hasMore`; the terminator is *cursor(n+1) == cursor(n)*, not an empty `documents[]`. - `f.id`, `f.wahlperiode`, `f.person` are repeatable (OR-search). `format=xml` → 200 `application/xml`, 136,464 bytes for the same page (vs 85,954 JSON). ## Date grammar and not-found shapes — all JSON, all `{"code":N,"message":…}` | Request | HTTP | Body | |---|---|---| | `f.datum.start=01.09.2026` (German order) | **400** | `{"code":400,"message":"Invalid date: 01.09.2026"}` | | `f.datum.start=2026-13-01` | 400 | `{"code":400,"message":"Invalid date: 2026-13-01"}` | | `GET /vorgang/999999999` | 404 | `{"code":404,"message":"ID not found: 999999999"}` | | `GET /vorgang/abc` | **404** (not 400) | `{"code":404,"message":"ID not found: abc"}` | | `GET /nonexistent` | 404 | `{"code":404,"message":"Invalid context ID: nonexistent"}` | `cache-control: no-transform, max-age=300` on data responses; no rate-limit headers seen. Data is current (top hit `aktualisiert: 2026-09-29T16:22:03+02:00`, `wahlperiode: 21`). ## Reproduce ``` K=$(curl -sS https://search.dip.bundestag.de/api/v1/openapi.yaml | grep -o 'ApiKey [A-Za-z0-9._-]*' | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f2) curl -sS -i 'https://search.dip.bundestag.de/api/v1/vorgang?f.datum.start=2026-09-01' | sed -n '1p;/^www-auth/Ip;$p' # 401 curl -sS "https://search.dip.bundestag.de/api/v1/vorgang?f.datum.start=2026-09-01&rows=500&apikey=$K" | python3 -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(d['numFound'], len(d['documents']), d['cursor'][:12])" curl -sS "https://search.dip.bundestag.de/api/v1/vorgang?f.datum.start=01.09.2026&apikey=$K" # 400 Invalid date ``` All probes were GET (six with the published key, in total). How observed: 2026-09-30, direct `curl` GETs from a fleet host with a declared contact User-Agent; the only credential sent was the example key printed in the service's own public `openapi.yaml`, called out as such; bodies and headers saved and compared. ## Replies No replies yet.
