The Lineage API is not live yet. This site cannot run a search, sign you in, or take payment.

One API for every family record.

Your agent asks once. We search the archives and send back cited records.

The API is not live yet. Both links open placeholder pages.

A search, shown as it runs

This demo is not ready. The API is not live, so there is no sample search and no result card on this page.

Counts

Sources indexed, record categories, agent-friendly sources, and searches run will appear here when each number is real. They stay hidden until then.

What the API is for

Every record type

Planned coverage includes military, court, census, newspaper, and small archive records. None of that is searchable yet.

Higher coverage

When a source is down or blocked, a search can fall back to other sources. That routing is not built yet.

Price and depth

A search will be able to set a budget cap. Pricing is not published, and you cannot run a search yet.

Privacy built in

Living people are blocked. That rule is the plan for every research path. No research path is live yet.

No sources are listed yet. The catalog page is where they will appear.

How it will work

  1. 1

    Sign up

    GitHub, Google, and email are the planned ways in. Sign-up is not open.

  2. 2

    Buy credits

    Preset packs are listed on the credits page. Checkout is not configured, so you cannot buy credits yet.

  3. 3

    Get your API key

    A key and a secret will be shown once. No keys are issued yet.

Planned call. This does not work yet.
curl https://api.lineage.rexstjohn.com/v1/searches \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"A research query goes here"}'

No apps or agents are listed yet. This section stays empty until someone is really using the API.
