public records api with search filters

Could you clarify what you want help with?

For example, are you asking for one of these:

1. How to design a public records API with search filters
2. Example API endpoints for public records search
3. A database schema / query design for filters
4. Code implementation in a specific stack, like:
   • Node/Express
   • Python/FastAPI
   • Django
   • Java/Spring
   • .NET
5. Best practices for search filters, pagination, sorting, and security

If helpful, here’s a quick example of what a public records search API might look like:

Example endpoint

GET /api/public-records

Example query parameters

• q=smith
• record_type=deed
• county=king
• date_from=2024-01-01
• date_to=2024-12-31
• status=active
• page=1
• page_size=25
• sort=created_at
• order=desc

Example response

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "rec_123",
      "title": "Property Deed",
      "record_type": "deed",
      "county": "King",
      "date": "2024-05-12"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "page_size": 25,
    "total": 184
  }
}

If you want, I can give you a complete API spec, sample database query, or working code.
