description: This API allows querying the collections of Gallica, the digital library of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). It enables search across digitized documents such as books, newspapers, manuscripts, images, and maps held in Gallica's holdings. Results returned by a search query can then be further processed using the companion Gallica Document API, which retrieves the actual document content and metadata. The service is maintained by the Bibliothèque nationale de France and requires an access key. It is intended for developers and institutions building applications on top of France's national digitized heritage collections.
