Note that while the public APIs and directly downalodable datasets comprise only data that is freely reusable requesting born digital archives and other data is reviewed on a case by case basis. Reviews are performed on the basis of Swedish legislation.
Public APIs
The National Archives' data platform includes a number of publicly available APIs. These APIs provide read access to open, publicly available data that is older than 110 years (thus containing no information about living persons) and links to digitized archival documents that are in the public domain.

Downloadable datasets for free reuse

Inventory of born digital archives
Born digital is the National Archives' inventory of registers, databases and websites created and delivered by public authorities, committees and individual archive creators. These archives have been produced digitally and are also preserved digitally. As confidentiality checks are always made, the archives are not directly available on the web or for download.
