How this service works
Search the Internet Archive for books, audio, films, software and images - title, creator, date, download count, size and item link, sorted by popularity
Output
A JSON object containing the interpreted query string, the matched media type, the total number of matches, the count of returned items, a source attribution, an optional note, and an array of items each with title, creator, date, download count, file size, and a direct link to the item on archive.org, sorted by popularity.
Example use cases
Finding public domain classic films
“Can you search the Internet Archive for silent Charlie Chaplin movies and show me which ones are most popular, with download counts and links?”
Discovering freely downloadable books
“Search archive.org for texts about the American Civil War and give me the top results — I want to see the title, who created them, and how many times they've been downloaded.”
Locating vintage software for download
“I'm looking for old DOS software on the Internet Archive — can you search for 'doom' in the software category and show me the most popular downloads with links?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/archive/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to discover or retrieve metadata about freely available digital content from the Internet Archive — books, audio, films, software, or images — especially when you want results ranked by community popularity (download count). It's ideal for finding public domain and open-access materials when you need direct archive.org item links and download statistics rather than just catalogue records.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns an error
- Very broad or common queries may return millions of matches but only a limited subset of items
- Unknown mediatype values may be ignored or return zero results
- Rare or very specific queries may return zero items
- API may be slow if the Internet Archive itself is under load
