Introduction

This document describes the open data API of opendata.jungfrauregion.swiss for retrieving information about places and accommodation locations published on the site. Each of these entities are also tagged with one or more categories. The following objects can be retrieved via the API:

API Endpoints

The main endpoint of the api is located at /api. The API can be used to retrieve all the available categories, or to retrieve all the objects tagged with a specific category.

Categories list

By just calling the endpoint, /api/category, without any other parameters, the result is a list of all the available categories. The category items are stored as a hierarchical tree, so each of the category item has also a reference to its parent. If the parent is "null", then the category is a root item. An excerpt from the result list can be seen bellow:

{"code":"ostschweiz_unterkuenfte","parent":"ostschweiz","labels":{"de_CH":"Unterk\u00fcnfte","en_US":"Accommodation","fr_FR":"H\u00e9bergement","it_IT":"Alloggio"}}

The parent represents the code of the parent for the category item. If "null", the category is a root item. The name represents the actual name or label of the category (this is a translatable field) and the path contains the location where all the objects tagged with the respective category item can be found.

Objects list

By appending the path of a category to the API endpoint, you can get all the objects which are tagged with that respective category. For example, to get all the objects tagged with LodgingBusiness, the following path can be used /api/category/LodgingBusiness. The result would be a list of all the Accommodation, for example:

Translations

Some of the fields support translations. For those fields, the returned value is actually an object containing the language codes as properties and the actual field, translated in that language, as value. The fields which do not support translations will just return their value directly. As an example in the above snipped, the openingDays field does not support translations, while the name supports it.

Schema.org integration

Some of the returned fields in the objects are also schema.org standard. The @type attribute of the objects identifies the schema.org type, and can have the following values

Non-standard fields

There are, however, a few custom fields which are not schema.org standard. The full list of non-standard fields, per each object type, can be seen bellow.
