Riksdagen API

Riksdagen data is valuable for transparency tools, policy monitoring and civic tech. Apiverket gives it a more consistent developer surface.

Use parliament members, bills, reports, questions, committees and voting-related data through the same API conventions.

What can you fetch?

  • Members
  • Bills and documents
  • Questions and interpellations
  • Committees and reports
  • Voting statistics

What can you build?

  • Civic tech tools
  • Policy monitoring
  • Research dashboards
  • Newsroom workflows

Common problems with the original source

  • Parliament data spans several document and metadata types.
  • Search and document fetching can require different patterns.
  • Teams often need to combine political data with statistics and geography.

How Apiverket makes it easier

  • Expose common parliament data as normal REST endpoints.
  • Use the same auth and response envelope as other public data.
  • Combine parliament data with statistics, elections and municipality data.
