Deutscher Bundestag DIP

Verified Jul 2026

DIP (Dokumentations- und Informationssystem für Parlamentsmaterialien) is the German Bundestag's own API for searching parliamentary documents and proceedings — Drucksachen (printed papers), Plenarprotokolle (plenary transcripts), and Vorgänge (legislative proceedings) — with records reaching back to 1949. The real API lives at search.dip.bundestag.de/api/v1 and requires a free API key obtained on request via the Bundestag's own API help page; the stored URL used to be a direct PDF instruction sheet that no longer resolves to a PDF at all (it now serves the same Angular app shell as every other dip.bundestag.de path), so it's corrected to that help page. Responses are JSON, with no reflective CORS header on unauthenticated requests.
