Chronicling America

Chronicling America Titles API

The Titles API exposes bibliographic metadata for every newspaper title in the Chronicling America collection. Callers can retrieve the full title list, look up a specific title by LCCN (Library of Congress Control Number), list all digitized issues for a title, and retrieve individual batch records. Responses are available in JSON and Atom formats.
